The balance 'correction' we may authoritatively apply quite often, instead of showing one to 'the light', might shelter, discourage, embitter, sidetrack, confuse, or stifle growth. That is the system or culture which dictates conventions for our relationships, what we are using right now to evolve, from home, work, or in society. This happens constantly, and that treatment is the 'cause of suffering' here. A show that points fingers outside the self for 'action' ain't gonna help. We crave and demand all manner of surrogates to avoid our self-determined Opus: a saviour - be it an inventor, an alien race, a leader, distractions, a show that points out 'the truth', whatever. 'NASA is lying to us!' Truly, what is NASA hiding that is suppressing our spiritual development? We are the authority.
It seems to me that you only speak of suffering in regards to humans. What about the other life forms on the planet and the planet itself? I don't like the idea that children--or anybody--starve in this world, but I can see that all humans have chosen their existence and I can certainly agree to their free will to experience it. I am not so sure about the other life--plants, animals, everything else here not human. Did they choose to be used and abused by humans? This is where it gets sticky for me.
