It isn't a stupid question, but what you're experiencing is actually pretty normal. Remember that your body is not 100% symmetrical (nobody's is). You might actually have cartilage closer to the location of your third hole on your right ear and because all new piercings swell even if just a little bit, it is more sensitive.
Ice and ibuprofen will help with the pain. Even though I know it isn't easy to *not* mess with a new piercing sometimes, stop touching it all the time...that will help with the pain too.
Maybe you need to stop touching it, it maybe infected. Check it out with your doctor.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
