Can grass feel pain?
My son asked me a really interesting question the other day, "Papa, can grass feel pain when we cut it?" I wasn't sure how to answer him.

Honestly, this is quite a deep question but biologically plants don't have a nervous system like we do to feel pain. I read about this when looking up organic vegetables and blood sugar control. They release chemicals when cut, but it's not the emotional or physical pain that living beings feel.
Actually no, grass doesn't have a nervous system or brain to feel pain. It's just a chemical reaction when they are cut.
Scientifically they don't feel physical pain, but grass is definitely living and reacts to our energy. Doing bare-foot walking on grass in the morning has helped me so much with grounding and peace. Treat nature with love and it always gives back.
Bro I thought about this so much during my exams when I was sitting in the park! But science says they don't feel pain like us. It's just some stress hormones they release, don't worry you aren't hurting them by walking on the lawn.
I totally understand why you might think this, sometimes we feel so sensitive to the world around us that we worry about everything. I used to feel the same way when I was dealing with heavy stress. Rest assured, grass is biologically unable to feel suffering or pain.
It's an interesting topic! Sometimes reading too much about these things is just a sign we are distracted or stressed—I used to do this a lot when my thyroid levels were completely off and I had brain fog. If you ever feel randomly fatigued or anxious, definitely get your blood profile checked by a doctor.

Haha if grass felt pain, I would feel so guilty about eating my favorite salads and coriander garnishes! Don't stress, they don't have a brain or pain receptors. Just enjoy your green lawns and green veggies without any worry.
Hey, don't overthink this too much. Science has proven that plants lack a central nervous system, so there's no way they experience pain the way we do. Go ahead and enjoy your walks outside, it's actually very good for your mental health.
