220918 What I learned in my studies this morning 2

Rolling in comfort 
Wading in shallows, sinking
Unburdened by pain.

Daily Stoic:

Pain is interesting. I can only remember one time when I experienced pain beyond my limit: a medical issue made my previous kidney stones, my previous 10 on the pain scale, fall to a 4 or 5.  Two doses of morphine and three of dilauded were not enough to dampen its ardor. I wailed. 

Other than that, I've been able to control myself through pain, acute or chronic. I hope I can continue this streak. 

So many things in my life of which I don't know if I'm tough or untested. Would others experience what I experience and complain and crumble? Or are they actually negligible? Something most people would shrug and ignore?
