So pain asymbolia means something else than “being able to feel pain but not caring about it”?
It means "being able to feel pain but not suffering from it."
Where “pain” and “suffering” are defined, respectively, as... what?
Roughly, pain is a sensation typically associated with damage to the body, suffering is an experience of stimuli as intrinsically unpleasant.
I do not suffer if my room is painted a color I do not like, but I still may care about the color my room is painted.
Agree, with the assumption that "stimuli" as relevant to suffering includes internal stimuli generated from one's own thoughts.
Yeah, that's certainly a fair clarification. It'd probably take a lot more space to give a really robust definition of "suffering", but that's close enough for gummint work.
