the problem with pain/pleasure is that they are re-active and based upon physical perception.
If we are talking about them in relation to creation, then it must be stated that they are not part of the equation.
When functioning from an ego-based physical perspective within the illusion, we see pain/pleasure or love/fear in a context of cause and effect where the past is observed (cause), perceptions formed, emotions felt which lead to an effect - but in conscious creation the only thing "real" is this moment there is no cause and effect and what isn't "real" (past) can have no effect.
It is never necessary to be reactive, or that our choice be congruent with what we believe was the "past" reality.
the effect is actually the cause, it is choice in the now, and the ensuing perceptions, feelings, and such that define our reality, nothing else. Like tossing a rock into water and the vibratory ring which goes out, it is the now which sends ripples across what we experience as reality/time/life.
