I think alot of you are missing what I'm asking, which is my fault. I'm not asking about anything other than the feeling. I'm not asking why we evolved to feel pain, or how we learn to feel pain. I'm not really even talking about pain specifically.
When something has meaning that means there is more to it than just the thing. Pain is just a feeling, but the fact that it hurts is meaning, but then there is nothing more than just the feeling, so how can it have meaning. It's like a contradiction: there is more to it than just a feeling, but then at the same time there isn't. The same goes for all feelings. I know it's a terrible stab at what I'm really trying to say, but it's all I can muster.
Think about this. When something happens to you, you judge its good or badness by the way it makes you feel (and forget what good and bad are, and that it might not be that way all the time). Something else tells us what is bad or good about a situation, and that is feeling, but what tells you if feelings are good or bad?
