Well, pain is a driving force behind us all, we go to great lengths to avoid pain(well, most of us do). Think about all the innovations and inventions that have developed solely out of the desire to avoid the pain of hard labor? What about all the medical technologies that have developed in order to prevent the physical pain of being ill or injured and the emotional pain of losing someone to disease or injury. Without pain there is no need to strive to get away from it, there is no striving to make anything better. Pain is the driving force behind human nature.Well, Pain and Greed anyways.
And so by wishing someone to have no pain, you are abondoning them to a realm of nothing, there is no desire to improve, no desire to do anything really, because they would never feel the pain of an experience lost.
