I think it needs to be asked the opposite way!
A baby smiles because they feel joy and happiness not bc they remember their birth pains

If baby felt no pain, it would not cry to let mommy know something is wrong that needs attention. Hungry? Dirty Diaper? Upset Tummy? Boredom? These pains are protective and loving. 🤍

To my way of thinking i do not think pain is needed to know when we feel good; we just know we are feeling good.
Do think when we feeling good/everything is feeling good all the time, humans tend to become stuck in a comfort zone which is unhealthy.
However when we are in alignment spiritually, mentally, physically with All That Is there will also come a continual sense of purpose encompassing service to others in some way which would nullify the potential for laziness etc.
just a thought

Our natural inclination to pain is of course to avoid it, get rid of it, or numb it out. God allows pain with a purpose. In fact, our suffering is a sign of His love. There's a protecting and correcting purpose in it. If we didn't feel pain, we wouldn't know something is wrong and wouldn't seek an answer to repair it. Pain is the signal that something needs to be fixed. It unifies the whole body. You can tell the health of a body by its reaction to pain. If the body doesn't react to pain, something there is dreadfully wrong. What does that say about the church? It's pain that unifies us as a church too. Scripture says when one member suffers, every member suffers with it [1 Corinthians 12:26]. We are drawn together by suffering. You can tell the health of a church by the way it responds to the hurting, helpless or homeless, the broken, bruised, battered, bleeding, and impoverished. The body is a healthy body when it responds to pain.

I've heard words to this affect, many times over the past 30, or so, years. It's never sat well with, me, though, and it still doesn't. To my way of thinking, it gives too much power to pain, and not enough to being good for the sake of being good.
But that's just me.

Agree with you ✨

😊🙏🤍 Pain has a good purpose.
