I am sorry I do not know what you are talking about. a differance is a
differance, there are degrees of differnace that is to say distance from the
entity which one is differentiating from, but there is no entity that is
more than a differance, how can one kind of a thing which you have named
(differance) be more than another kind of a thing that you call the same
name, for a differance that were more than a difference you would need
another name for it to differentiate it from being a differance. your
linguistic usage does not compute, you are obviosly talking figuratively in
a way I cannot comprehend, whereas I was trying to be precise, rational and
philosophical.
Pain is in fact one of the most subjective of entities, in that it cannot be
measured or compared, or differentiated accurately. I do not know what
another persons bodily sensations feel like, and I have only the vaguest of
suppositions to know that what my parents gave to me as the word pain,
equates with anything I really feel.
As an autistic person, I have difficulty in percieving certain sensations
and knowing whether it is pain or mere sensation, or where indeed it is
coming from.
My mother who had rheumatoid arthritis and who one supposes were in a lot of
pain, (as she described it) subscribed to the social model., so I figure if
it could have validity for her, then why not.
