To not experience emotional pain is what would be interesting.

Are you referring to sociopathy, the total lack of empathy? I can think of a couple of politicians who show symptoms of that - though I suppose that even taking narcissistic offense (narzistische Kränkung) must be regarded as a form of pain.

Regards,

I think sociopaths feel emotional pain for themselves. Without feeling emotional pain would it be much harder to love and be good, no?
