I beg to differ with Robert Paul on necessicity of existence of pain or evil. In physics there is no such thing as cold, only lack of heat. Or at least that is what I keep telling myself waiting for the winter to break (it's -15C outside right now.) Similarily, hunger is abcense of food.
The point I am trying to make is that feeling of something and cause of something are not necessarily the same. Pain, physical pain at least, is in someways an abnormality. If I get a cut on my finger, it is the result of my body being damaged and the pain will cease once the cut heals, that is gets back to normal condition.
