Poll: Physical or Emotional Pain?

Hard to say as I haven't reached the worst of either possibility. But seeing as physical pain passes and heals with time and emotional pain can stick with you for a life-time; including emotional pain you've developed due to physical pain (fear), I'd have to go with emotional pain.
Eh...how do you judge it? Wouldn't it be more accurate to say that your worst (or maybe most frequent) pain at the moment is Pain X, and that it, therefore, is worst for you?
Inflicted on me: emotional. the body heals faster and better than the mind when all shit goes to hell.
when I inflict on someone else: I like to try and go for spiritual/mental. get someone into the mind frame that they are a useless waste of life that no one would love or care for and eventually hope it leads to a suicide of the person inflicted upon.
...
though physical is always easier and more efficient it seems.

Physical pain is by far the worst of the two. Emotional pain is all in your head, there are several methods to easily and healthily deal with such (depending on your personality and whatnot). It's honestly easy to deal with, especially if you have any degree of discipline.
Physical pain on the other hand is much harder to deal with without narcotics. It's nigh impossible to ignore, by virtue of the fact that it's specifically designed that way, and it can be all consuming all too easily.
Emotional pain can be dealt with and processed over long periods. Physical does not have that luxury. It is right now, and always will be until you heal.

Emotional. Physical pain is just the body telling you to calm down and assess the situation to prevent permanent damage. Emotional damage on the other hand is far less logical most of the time thus harder to deal with in a sane way. And emotional pain is usually easier to just push aside and never deal with thus casing permanent damage.
Physical pain may be easier to stop but that's not the question.smithy_2045 said:
Would you rather be shut in a dungeon with insults blasted in your ears 24/7 or be thrown in some shithole where a dude drills your teeth out with a rusty drill? I think I'd go with the insults.
Physical pain.
Probably because I've never really felt emotional pain that I can remember, I just keep going with life. I find it a lot easier to roll with emotional punches than real ones.
