If you are a "live your life"'r like me there really is no absolute suffering. I'm happy being alive. Any experience I digest, good or bad, is ultimately good simply because I exist to experience it. Now don't get me wrong, I like some experiences more than others. A good roll in the hay is always preferable to a sharp stick in the eye. But, the fact that I'm here to get poked in the eye means I'm still here to poke others while in the hay.

"I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours." -- Stephen Roberts
