Honestly, I think this is the most important question we should be asking ourselves as a species. Before theorizing and fighting about the kind of civilization we want, wouldn't it make sense to ask whether this whole humanity thing is worthwhile at all?https://twitter.com/KennethFolk/status/986131590916050944 …
That's true. And yet, there is no amount of beauty and meaning that can circumvent the brute and obvious reality of suffering. In fact, the only reason we invent beauty and meaning at all is to deny and distract ourselves from suffering.

True, beauty or meaning can’t cancel out suffering, they’re entirely different categories.. That said, it’s also true that different experiences can change the character of our life, and even give us a clue as to how we could develop a different relationship with (our) Suffering.

I agree with that. It's a wonderful freak accident that it happens to be possible to change our relationship with suffering.

Freak is the right word...
