life is suffering
If we try our best, we are rightous, the best human you can be, there will be something to knock you down
it could happen to anyone, events in life are rng.
sometimes events are unprecedented and uncalled, but it happens and your life is gone. Even though our goal is to reproduce, we have to fight against these events. Why do these exist, when we have only ONE goal. Why are there so many things that lead us away from our goal ?
even if you try, it can be gone in a second.

even if you think you are doing good ,you are contributing to suffering indirectly
not our own suffering, but the systematic suffering*
we (talking about more privileged people) are born, with the intention of reproducing. What gives us the most chance of reproducing and essentially completing our predecessors goal, and essentially the goal of humanity,
the basic five: food, water, shelter etc. This is necessary for a healthy upbringing, resulting in a higher chance to reproduce. However we want to increase this chance as much as we can. Therefore we work harder, for wealth(mostly as that is how we trade goods and services) and possibly have better access to newer technologies and such
What also gives us more chance to achieve the goal of humanity is to allow other to reproduce as well. This is why we help the unfortunate. Essentially because it helps the better off in the long run. Not only does it aid to our universal goal, but it helps us reach our own goals. EG: if we help people out of poverty (this example is set in a developed country), by getting an education, we have a better chance of them making "better" decisions. These people enter the workforce instead of becoming criminals (for example), and we profit off their work. We spend less money on poverty in the long run if people are self sustained. We have more people making products that we use
There may be amicable intentions on trying to help the less fortunate, but they are the ones who allow us to have access to the luxuries of a first world life. There will always be the need for someone/something (possibly machinery, however cheap human labour/slave labour is an option too) to create the products. There will always be a market space for people to be poor. Not everyone can be rich. not everyone can be happy.
Whatever we do, we are living on top of people who cannot escape. Their situation is worsened by culture, government and basic human instinct to reproduce. Even though them reproducing aids the overall operation. Making sure we, ourselves, complete that is priority. We put our goals and family in front of others.
Even if we help, there will always be someone on the bottom. It may shift, and seem like its a slow change. But there will always be unfortunate souls. How can there be "rich" people if theres no "poor" people to compare them to? Not everyone will be equal
Privileged people are living off people who are worse off, and their suffering. We may not be directly contributing. Or better stated, we may not be explicitly making these people suffer. not a direct impact, its not conscious. But it will happen and nothing will change that
as we live, we rely on other people to endure what we would have to go through if they didnt. Someone have to be on the bottom for us to be on top.

also, i say a lot that people have to be on the bottom, i havent researched this much but i think it true, ill search it up after this
suffering doesnt refer to indvidualised suffering, but suffering on a large scale
also suffering isnt limited to only human suffering. Animal suffering, climate suffering, environmental suffering etc.
we have to live knowing this, knowing how we contribute to the bad shit and dont contribute to charity. We live knowing about people worse off, yet we choose to ignore it. We dont realise society functions due to a strict hierarchy, and a facade of "equality" is plagued within first world countries. In addition, the disparity of equality within developed and developing countries is stark.
we are forced into this world, to try and accomplish the goal. The universal human goal. The goals that we create, inevitably leads to reproduction. That is the only goal of humanity.
we are forced into this system of people who suffer in order for people to thrive. We dont have a choice, we are forced into this system of life is suffering because we must prioritise our own chances of reproduction over others.
we are forced to play a character in a game, who can be killed and it wouldnt matter to the universal goal. Due to an increasing 7 billion population, the death of one pawn is insequential to the overall goal of humanity
sometimes we are forced to turn a blind eye. to see the positive picture. hiding from the harsh realities. worrying too much about the suffering of others can reduce our own chance of reproducing
