Suffering is the most constant thing I can think of for a conscious being. In the wild, millions of animals get horrifically mauled and mutilated, and eaten while they are still alive a lot of the time. For humans, billions of us are born in horrific conditions, living a terrible life, and that's all they know. And of course you can be born in a "first world country" (me) and still go through a living hell.
People choose to ignore the bad, either because they'll go insane thinking about how awful this world is, or because it's not them, so they don't care. What the fuck? I can't believe this is real. This world could qualify for a type of hell. I just can't believe I'm real, every other conscious thing is real, and most are suffering so much. There's no hope in the long term, truly. All we do is focus on our little, tiny victories because it's cope.
