You would need to define "suffering", then. My definition of suffering is the anxiety, stress, worry, fear & depression one gets from being conscious of the horrors of existence. Without consciousness, suffering doesn't exist. Consciousness precedes suffering

My explanation of suffering is The same as yours but consciousness in this context is grasping with out rage the fact that the world is full of misery, grim and torture.
So in some sense it's suffering that let's us know we are suffering!
