Hurting = bad. More hurting = more bad.
The rest is surprisingly easy to derive. Not sure why people struggle with the concept...
But socks, oh my... Where could I possibly begin.
but less hurting means less money for me, can’t have that
they must just be silly for not liking to hurt for a good cause because they are not people

Is hurting Putin, Xi, Trump or Netaniakhu bad?
paradox of tolerance

They're the ones creating more hurting.
If you kill a murderer, the number of murders in the world remains the same!

It also maths if you kill a murderer, who has killed more than one person.
Yes, however the sweet relief of death is not hurting.
Oh, I didn't say "kill", I said hurt.
