How far are you ready to go?
It's interesting, for any question ever that is asked, we seek around for answers that "feel right" or "make sense", but really any answer can be given to any question.
I find preferences to be the most fascinating in this case.
Why is it that you prefer not to suffer?
For any question where there is a side you feel you 'cannot imagine', I would always propose that means that part of the self is repulsed and the way forward is through the repulsion.
Only when you have fully realized both your ability to inflict and experience suffering can you truly be wise in choices regarding care, just as I think that must also be balanced with the realization of the ability to inflict and experience pleasure and enjoyment. Of course, most are always trying to do their best as they are able and in truth nothing is asked of anyone.
However, if we are to take Ra's word for it, perhaps some are so eager to become wise that we have a case of many trying to run before they have gotten the walk.
Try for a day to think opposite to yourself, there is a lot you can learn about yourself by doing so I think. (Maybe best not to behave that way though, might not be what you want following you.)
