Consider that even the realization of pain, requires a directing of a certain degree of your connscious activity torwards the pain itself or the event that caused it. Therefore already realizing pain has effects. One more point if you imagine a 3D Spacetime whith event = (individual, time, pain) the importance/utility of event1 you described would go torwards 0 Because pain goes torward 0. E1 = (A,t,z->0) | |
