Suffering just for the sake of suffering? What you are describing is the STS path.
As Q'uo said, "It is a dark and bloody path. There are those who prefer it. We are Not those. We are of the radiant path."

If one makes choices based on how they will polarized, then yes, I'd agree.

Then it sounds like you may be confusing how some people describe the STO path, with the essence of the path itself.

Groan
Do you seriously think we want to answer the call of the oppressed because we selfishly want to control their experiences and deny them their chosen suffering? Are you seriously suggesting that our compassion towards the oppressed is actually selfishness??
And do you really disregard their calls for help that much? Do you think they're calling because...because...well exactly WHY do you think they'd be calling for help if they wanted to keep on suffering?
Do you really not see that they are calling for help in a desperate effort to elicit some compassion and thus facilitate the opening of the green ray for both themselves and the ones extending compassion to them? Do you really not see that?
I continue to scratch my head in bewilderment. Folks, these are basic concepts. Kindergarten stuff.
Like Ra said, if the other-self is hungry, the appropriate response is to FEED them! Yes, by all means, use some wisdom too, but FEED them!!!
Billions of other-selves are ENSLAVED and crying out. FREE them!!! YOU have the power to! Each of you...by not longer contributing to the demand for their enslavement.
