DentistsMy current dentist is called Mr Stiff.
Back when I was at university though, I had enormous pain in my jaw one morning - so bad I went as an emergency case to the uni dentist.
He took one look at the back of my mouth and said, "Ah, wisdom teeth. Impacted. They'll have to come out."
He then reached under the chair and came out with an enormous industrial (and entirely non-dental) pair of pliers, "I can do it now if you want..."

QUOTE:"[pain] will always be a fact of life that should be accepted (and Nietzsche would say even embraced)..."
I've had chronic pain for about thirteen years. During these thirteen years lots of people told me I should just accept it and learn to live with it. I've recently found the reason why I have this pain, and thus can hopefully treat it. This wouldn't have happened if I'd listened to anyone.
Refusal to accept bad things and an expectation that your pain should be taken away and your standard of living should improve is what makes progress happen.
And let's remember that Nietzsche fundamentally appeals to goths who haven't read him and people who find Nazism insufficiently pretentious.
