Depends really on the situation and the person, also on the type of pain. Some are good, like when you exercise. Muscles will hurt like hell but the more you do it, the stronger you become. People like that feeling, the soreness and burn, it makes them feel alive. That's fun.

Funny. I always hear people bitching about that instead. someone upthread sure was and called me scary for saying that sounded like a boatload of fun.

Well different people, different opinions. Some are terrified of pain and try to avoid it like the plague, which is also fine. Mostly cause it's futile to try and avoid it, cause one way or another that person will feel pain eventually.

Another, and more logically sound argument, is that pain is a good thing because it lets us know if something is wrong. Like an alarm for danger.
