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

I don't see it as transhumanist. There is pain. Pain is real. But the thinking about the pain only exacerbates it. And sometimes the thinking about it creates more stress than the actual pain.
Yeah you right I wasn’t trying to make it sound like I was saying that was transhumanist, was just saying I was reading about suffering on the web and that brought me to transhumanism

But you’re right thinking about it causes more stress than the actual pain, like how depression can cause physical pain in some people
