I would argue that the more pain a person experiences the less he will believe in free will and instead bet all cards on fatalism. It is the most pleasant philosophy to believe in. If anyone asks you what you believe in you can call yourself an ultra-fatalist and that will answer all questions while not giving away anything about yourself. When you die, you leave this world. The world continues without you. So what makes you think that you have free will and are important? Even if you had free will, you could change nothing that would be important - hence fatalism rules everything.
