RE: Escaped from heaven.

What a charming story! I was captivated by it from the begining to the end. The way it flowed with a soothing tone despite the tragedies its characters were enduring.

Mercedes didn't need to prove anything to anyone if you ask me. Her experience was as real as anything else in this world, and that's what matters. Angelo was a good man, and so was Mercedes, otherwise Angelo wouldn't risk escaping and crossing the boundaries for her. Both, finally reunited in the heavens.

Thank you for this heartwarming read @gracielaacevedo !

Thank you for this beautiful comment, @yaziris. I wanted to convey the possibility of bridging the gap between life and death. An inflexible culture separates, with fear, these two experiences, but like Angelo we all die while we live, I think.

Indeed @gracielaacevedo!

What I was wondering however, would someone who cannot feel pain be able to feel pleasure? Isn't most of what we experience in feelings, is actually derived from pain?

It is a complicated question this @yaziris. For practical purposes I would differentiate the inability to feel painful bodily stimuli (perhaps one who does not feel pain can perceive other types of stimuli, a caress for example) from the process of emotional references that are constituted in a different "place" of consciousness.
