War is the default dumb remedy when intelligence is lacking from one side or the other or both in a conflict. To be part of the establishment some day youth as minions in a social structure with dumb self-seeking politicians must participate and die; and if they live they can share in whatever spoils arise.
Pain is a warning- a signal for when things are going wrong. Learning is good however and does not require the presence of pain to exist. People have said "no pain, no gain" and that differs from learning. Learning fills in knowledge of the unknown. One might enter a room for example and experience a new odor; a sweet perfume, and learn many things from it immediately. That learning won't be enhanced for instance if one were to run one's head into a wall to get pain and increase learning of the meaning of the perfume. Those who love learning may exprience pleasure in the process.
Love of Wisdom or alethea aka philosophy seeks the truth. It is not just about an inquiry into mechanics and cosmology. We know today that even matter is an emergent, secondary and apparent phenomenon of massless particles being entangled in the Higgs field so they seem to have a third dimension rather than just two like most massless particles. One of course might ask 'Why did God create the world and mankind?' and get John's answer that 'God so loved the orld that he gave his only begotten Son that whomsoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life'. Plato and Plotinus believed in God-as did Socrates- fairly philosophical heavyweights to throw out. One might read all of modern philosophy and classic to discover that the truth is just God as three persons in one.
