Start by realizing that there'd be no pleasure without it. For the simplest of examples, there's no cool refreshing drink without feeling overheated, or warm soothing fireplace without feeling cold.

You don't. This is one of Nietzsche's stupider ideas. Nobody likes pain, nobody likes suffering, nobody enjoys being inconvenienced. We just put up with it because we have no other choice or because it may lead to some greater good that makes it worthwhile.

Read Samuel Johnson.

>>11445495 as >>11446041 said, because it may lead to some greater good that makes it worthwhile. But sometimes the pain which is the means to the end becomes a part of the end itself. That is to say, the cause of the pain and even the exact same sensation itself suddenly becomes pleasurable from a perspective shift, like how the duck changes into the rabbit. For example, a stressful situation causes fear and the stress itself is painful, but the stress also causes a release of adrenaline, which gives creates a very pleasurable high. But it's the continued encounter with the same thing that causes the fear or stress which sustains and elevates the high.

you don't actually love these things. You love these things because you perceive that by being inflicted with pain/suffering/inconveniences that you will gain something. You enjoy the means only so far as they help you reach an end

I would recommend drinking so much that you develop severe gout. Not just throbbing big toe gout, but entire foot, ankle and knee joint gout, so bad that you can't even stand for days on end, and just lie on your bed analysing the symphony of pain being transmitted to your brain through every single foot bone. Each of those tiny bones will transmit pain of a different color and intensity direct to your nerve centers simultaneously. Gorgeous and delicious! And meanwhile you slowly start to starve as you can't get out for food. Heavenly!
