The longer we suffer, the more we dwell on suffering – eventually suffering and the thought of suffering eclipse each other entirely

Sometimes the thought of suffering is worse than the actual suffering
You’re right I agree, and that makes me think about if the thought of suffering isn’t there than are we really suffering, than that brought me to trans-humanism and that whole idea

But than trans humanism made me think about if we don’t know we’re suffering/or not at all than would we still be human than, and not more like a robot

An ontology of suffering is needed and with a measuring method, if only qualitative by relative comparison. And not necessarily hierarchical. E.g. sufferings caused by insufficient biological needs being met compared to social needs. Units could be ligotti, zapfe, etc.
