After Bites

I was sitting around the campfire last night with some people and a teenager mentioned that she didn't bring her After Bite lotion .... Huh ... Apparently you apply this after you have been biten. Just like this generation and the last few they think that there is a solution for everything. Avoid pain at all costs. What's wrong with letting the little buggers bite you a few times and having your amazing body build up immunity so that you don't even notice further bites.

Isn't the pain experience part of living ... part of learning ... part of being human? People will stay in abusive relationships, work at mind numbing jobs, keep their children prisoners because the big bad world might hurt them ... all to keep pain away.
