Again, suffering=injustice. Injustice disappears when the group stops suffering. The injustice is the suffering, self-imposed. Only those who do not see it this way will suffer without end.
Take care and I hope you don't think me cold.. just logical and real.
i think i see your point. Division is assured if the perception of suffering is coddled. i can agree with that; but at the same time some people simply have suffering thrust upon them, and i think it's wrong to foist suffering onto others. I feel my culture is guilty of just that crime, and that there are people in my culture trying to make things right; i would like to facilitate that movement in some fashion, the least of which is by expressing my opinion.

See, there are subtleties to the issue, as usual: like the way the erronious perception of injustice, or suffering, degrades the integrity of the whole; and at the same time there is the accurate perception of injustice that makes a whole unjust and hence potentially non-viable. This speaks to the integrity of the conscious dynamic and the nature of Justice generally. I appreciate your effort to be logical and real; humbly i suggest that you be more thurough.
