First, morality must be defined. Once it is understood as the paradigm by which all conscious experiences are measured, starting with a roughly defined point on the "landscape" of sentience and moving around the various environmental conditions that comprise these brain states and their corresponding phenomenology, we can discuss how this morality might be described in objective terms. It's important to bear in mind that semantics matter. It makes no more sense to me to distinguish between "cruel and pointless suffering" and that which is "bad" any more than it does to separate what it is I call an "apple" from the thing that looks like an apple, feels like an apple, and tastes like an apple!
