Or is this just one of those things you're not supposed to think too hard about?

(Edit) lmao, people who've never heard this mantra whenever you say that maybe there should be less suffering in the world... I envy you.

If and only if suffering is good. I'd argue it's not.

Occasionally experiencing suffering will lead to character growth, but mostly in dealing with future suffering of yourself or someone else. Not ever suffering and not needing the growth would be better.

But there is suffering in the world and occasional small doses is dealt out to everyone without anyone of us actively trying.
