Unless you're a sadist or a masochist pain is not something you can generally value, so therefore it isn't something you generally should. "ought" implies "can"
That's my point, though. Some people like pain and believe it's a good thing, while others don't. And that was my point about morals: what society thinks is socially acceptable. Most people don't think pain is a good thing, therefore pain isn't very socially acceptable.
"Pain is bad" comes from someone's own personal opinion on morals, which was exactly my point.
