I’m not saying that, just that there’s no outside way of verifying if something is true or not in case of morals. I don’t believe objective morals exist because you can’t find a single moral stance shared among all of humanity not because you can’t measure the truth of that stance.

Is suffering good or bad? I don’t mean that in a specific context, but any type of suffering in itself.

I can’t really say about all kinds of suffering, it really depends on context.
It’s like asking if all love is good. There are so many situations I can imagine it could be good or bad or even neutral.

With out of context I mean in it’s nature. Imagine you have to cut off someone’s leg who doesn’t like pain and won’t profit from experiencing it during the amputation now or in the future, is it better to do it in the way it causes the most pain or the way it causes less pain, when it leads to exactly the same result?
