Suffering is unnecessary

Suffering is unnecessary. It is an illusion created by our existence on this planet. Or more accurately this reality within which we exist. How is it that there should be suffering in life? There shouldn't be! Life should be a wonderful beautiful thing. But here on this planet it is not. It can be a living hell. Revenge retaliation greed violence hatred bigotry racism all these things cause suffering. Suffering will no longer exist if there is only kindness understanding patience empathy and a willingness to help others.

So how do you defeat suffering? You defeat those who cause it by stopping them from causing suffering. The goal is to stop suffering not create more. So those who cause suffering are to end their own suffering. You stop those who cause suffering and you provide them with kindness understanding patients empathy and a willingness to help others.

All good sentiments but I'm not sure if suffering isn't just part of the human condition. It's always been at play. And some suffering is self-inflicted. Drug addicts without drugs suffer. It also comes in degrees and is subjective. Suffering can be dealing with a painful disease or it can be something like enduring a long run in bad weather under the guise of "what doesn't kill us makes us stronger."

@Ynotisay at least there should be a progressive movement towards less suffering

It's not just as black and white and simple as that.
