There is the suffering of just being alive, which is to say, hunger, dehydration, hot or cold weather, common injuries, illnesses, being attacked by wild animals or insects, or eating rotten food... but then there is a level up from there. It's one thing to sort out the regular discomforts in life (which many people have covered, air conditioning, heat, plenty of cheap food, medicine, and never going outside to avoid mosquitos, bee stings and dog bites.) Now there are other things we have to deal with that cause an endless amount of suffering...even from childhood, that an individual cannot hope to prepare for or predict.
The immediate level, the natural one is one thing, but then there is parental abuse of children, crime on your street, scams, cars breaking down, getting fired, being falsely accused of crimes, being mugged, carjacked or shot at, harassment of all kinds, all sorts of abuses... but this level isn't the worst of it now... as if we didn't have enough problems... now the next level is tyranny. Mandatory medications that aren't technically medications, accusations of all sorts which lead to possible charges of crimes in some countries, inability to organize life reasonably to the point you owe taxes, fees, fines, and orders from governments to make it even more difficult to own or even live on your own property, all sorts of regulations and bans and illegalities, making life even more difficult than 'normal.'
It's hard to believe anybody has time to even consider 'gender' let alone some of the nonsense people devote their lives to on the internet, going after other people, attacking other people, spreading rumors and lies, and so on, I don't have one second to think about genders, dating, the opposite sex, marriage, let alone abortion, or all sorts of issues that people think about all the time. Life is work, spend, recover, try not to get attacked when running errands, hope you don't get a flat tire, or somebody doesn't smash your car, and if there's time to get lunch. Piling on more political problems on a life like mine is more stress on top of it all. There just isn't time. Yet, I can see the moral implications of all the issues people discuss, I've seen them all my life. Based on what I've experienced so far, and how much time I probably have left, certain political issues just fall off my radar and awareness, even though I know, there will be plenty of people out there who will have to deal with them and there's nothing I can do about any of them. If one or two pieces fall out of my life, the whole thing will come crashing down... as millions out there live in the same predicament. Clearly, the wealthy have time for all sorts of weirdness, and clearly that is also negatively affecting society... but they have the cash to keep going even though the new depression era comes to destroy even more lives. It's truly astonishing, and if anybody out there has the fortune to live their lives leisurely, well, take note, it would seem either luck, fortune or God has your back. Be grateful, be extra thankful, and realize what time you have to do good. The only reason I do good, is I see there isn't much time left, and there's not much I could accomplish to change a thing in this world. If you find your prayers actually work, keep praying. If you find that God listens, keep talking, if you find that fellow souls listen, keep talking to them. I do not have such luck, therefore I commit acts of "mischievous good" because there is neither the people around me nor the time to 'have' people in my life. I find it so bizarre that anyone today is trying to change their sex as if that's going to make 'life' better... even a tattoo is a waste of time and money to me. I don't spend a lot of time asking God for forgiveness, I ask for more time... not life, mind you, time.... in one single day... time....
