You're right and wrong on this one
I've done weight training and I know that if you do not end up hurting after lifting weights, then you are not going to build any muscles. If you finish working out and do not feel something such as tired, then you most likely did it wrong. Pain is not always a bad thing. In most of the circumstances you mentioned, pain will end up helping a person grow. Emotional pain is a great example of this. Every time I have suffered emotional pain I have grown because of it. I would not be the person I am today if I never allowed myself to feel pain. So pain may be a warning system, but it is also something that helps us grow and understand the world better. So there is a logic to 'No pain, no gain'.

Personally, I don't enjoy pain. I only had one child because pain sucks.
What people gain by pain, I have no idea. They must be masocistics.
