But basing your ethics on suffering rather than say some other model of virtue is arbitrary.

  It's not arbitrary because suffering is universal and unwanted by those who experience it.

    But that doesn’t make it a universal basis for ethics.

      If you can come up with a better basis than that experienced by all living organisms, the floor is open for you to make your pitch.
