The suffering and torture of existing should not be dismissed

[FuneralCry]

It seems like everywhere humans try to push and force the idea of happiness and celebration, it's just so extremely cruel to me when the reality is that existing beings are tortured in this existence every second, the suffering of existing is endless and there is nothing happy about this, it's an abomination and it never should be dismissed like it does.

All that existence does is cause pain and suffering and there is no limit as to how unbearable it can get, existence really is an terrible mistake and it is devastating how much harm it causes.

I understand that, for many people, life can be extremely difficult and full of pain. There are times when suffering seems to dominate and the idea of happiness seems almost impossible. It's not wrong to feel that way – in fact, many people share this feeling during difficult times.
But at the same time, I think it's worth considering that, although pain and suffering are real and present, there are also moments when people find small reliefs, such as connections with others, moments of peace, or even small joys that arise from where they least expect them. I know this may seem insignificant in the face of so much pain, but perhaps that's the complexity of the human experience: pain and happiness coexisting.
I truly hope you find relief from your pain.

I agree, and it is not dismissed. For example, Buddhism starts with the first noble truth, "There is suffering".

This is where I was able to click into, and had moments of feeling having ended up at Nirvana.
...
Then I was still here. Not wanting, not needing. But having a physical body with needs, bills to pay, have to keep showing up for others to get paid...
Tough to not feel some suffering, even having to plan an end...

Think it was your thread @tarnishedstoner. But I HAVE been able to, and a trying to finish out with appreciation for the lack of suffering I had. The actual fun, love and all the positive words that I unfortunately have a hard time connecting to now. Now, indeed, lack of suffering feels paramount. Tough to not be honest with people, so I'm just scared of having cops sent to my home to disarm me.

So many shitty versions of suffering we can experience tho, for sure.
