The Psychology of Discomfort

  • All bad experiences are uncomfortable
  • So the end of discomfort is the end of everything affectively bad
  • Everything uncomfortable is felt as unpleasant
  • But what makes the unpleasant into the uncomfortable is some additional factor of mental construction with the perception of an induvidual entitiy
  • Therefore two possibilities:
    1. End displeasure
      • By elimination
        • Eternal heaven
      • By precedence (with pleasure or neutrality)
        • Eternal heaven
    2. End uptake
      • Nirvana

Compare the meaning of discomfort with stress and feeling. Happiness considers what it would mean for objectionable experience to remain below a threshold.
