>>10832402We choose the degree and magnitude of our own suffering. In as much as we can always, as individuals, revert to any state of suffering previously experienced by our species.
Nobody has to suffer their modern life if they go back to the level of suffering of a wild person living a transient subsistence lifestyle.
I believe you mix the need to suffer with the need to struggle. Essentially they are they same but must be together. We need challenge.
I also feel it is wrong to deny those who would raise us all to higher tiers of challenge (or suffering as it is described here) the oportunity to fulfil their dreams.
