indexes of pain...

Pain is subjective. It varies with different cultures. The indexes of pain are different. Malaysians are noted with indexes of pain that is being regarded as no pain at all to other cultures. I have to be real careful when dealing with the Malaysians, so to speak. Only recently, I was penalised just because of what I said seems too painful to accept by that particular individual. Ironically, I have been echoing the same remarks to another individual of different culture. To my surprise, he just throw me a smile. Haha. What about my analysis of my student's indexes of pain then? I don't care what constitutes pain to them. As far as my indexes of pain is concerned, no pain no gain.
