Why do (most) people like cheesecake better than an earache?

Are we afraid of pain?

Are we a hopelessly hedonistic species?

What do you think?

  I do love cheesecake. But I enjoy pain more. Why else would I have kicked banana tree's until I had no feeling in my shins?!

I am in some of the worse pain I can remember. I went to the gym with my buddy who is gym rat, and who I can't ever remember not having a 6 pack, and I've now come to hate ever listening to him tell me "Come on man, just one more, just one more!" Everytime I move it feels like my muscles have been torn in half. I can't even brush my damn teeth. I used to work out all the time, but I've never been in this much pain from it. I feel like shooting up some anabolics right now or downing an assload of pain killers. PAIN SUCKS!

  Dont talk to me about pain. I endure the worst pains - it feels my whole body is being torn asunder joint by joint - my back hurts, my arm is dislocated, pain travels from my back, to my bum, my legs, my neck too, from reading so many comments
  
  But .... does cheesecake make me feel better??? Naaaa

Not a huge fan of cheescake or earaches. However, my wife loves the Peanut Butter Fudge Ripple Cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory and I have to say it is pretty tasty.

  Alright, I've got to throw down the cheesecake gavel. Costco makes some of the best strawberry cheesecake on the planet earth. It's so darned good! Better than the Cheesecake Factory.

Cheesecake makes you soft, pain makes you strong. Nietzsche said so.

  I have enough pain in other parts of my body right now, I'll pass on the earache, but pass me the cheesecake!

  Db-make up your mind. Are you for pain or cheesecake? I'm beginning to think you're a player, and not a true masochist.

  I was agreeing with your statement about cheesecake making you soft

Most of us deal with pain of one form or another on a daily basis so why not enjoy the good, the smooth, and the tasty instead?

"Suffering is the sole origin of consciousness." Dostoyevsky said that. In other words, if you'd rather have cheesecake than an earache, you're a mindless wimp.

  I've had enough suffering.
  
  This year has been a lesson in how the universe can take a giant dump on you no matter how hard you work or how nice you are.

  Still, I'm surprised at your negative attitude. It's simply the universe offering you valuable lessons so you can grow and be a wiser person.
