Pain can be considered an emotion because its what you feel. Most emotions are potrayed by how you feel so if you are happy, then you're going to feel happy and if you are sad you'll feel sad.

But I also think pain is associated with other emotions that hurt you like sadness, anger, depression and those sort of things.

Pain, I guess can can also be an emotion that your body feels when you fall and scrape your knee or something...o.o;

So...yeah. XD

On the topic of emotional pain, I still wouldn't think it's an emotion. I would say that emotional pain is a trigger to feeling sad, hurt, or depressed, etc. Pain is a physical feeling that can have an emotional response; that's how I think of it.

Physical pain, for that matter, is definitely not an emotion. It's just an overwhelming force that you absorb using your sense of feel; similar to how a loud noise blares through your ears. It's a physical response, no doubt.

It isn't acknowledged as such in a verbal sense (as one may think of pain as something that needs a trigger of fulcrum of sorts as a physical response - so if you aren't physical, you don't feel pain?), but, yes, I would say it is. To say pain isn't an emotion is to say that you don't feel anything when you feel pain, because pain ties right into emotional and mental pain as it does physical (and I'd say emotional pain is infinitely worse myself, to be forthright). I'd say pain has the merit to be acknowledged as "emotional". Now, whether pain or other emotions are deeper (or whether one is "liberated" and evolving when they exceed material goods)... that's another quarrel to discuss upon.

To be blunt, if my arm was chopped off this seond, I wouldn't really care if pain was a emotion. Because I would probaly try to knock myself out from the pain.

But sure, it's an emotion.

I disagree. Pain may be what caused the emotion, even if it was emotional. Pain can be notched down to other emotions. Pain=Sad, Pain=Anger, Pain=lulz.
