The pain is kind of the point. More specifically the body's response to pain is the point. Eating spicy food, especially mild foods when starting, is a low level pain but it triggers the body's pain response. You get those nice dopamine and endorphins released. You end up associating the two and your journey to liking spicy food has begun.
