From "Tying Rocks to Clouds"...

Question: Why is there suffering?

Answer: "...There is suffering partly because we have evolved as human beings, as sensitive people. If we didn't care, there wouldnt be suffering. There would be death, illness, broken bones. There'd be murders, car accidents, earthquakes, and plane crashes, but there wouldn't be suffering; there would just be things happening. Since we want the world to be good and we want life to be satisfying and pleasant, we're hurt and outraged when bad things happen...To rid the world of suffering, people would have to learn not to care that their parents die. I'd have to be able to shrug off the death of my father...That kind of suffering is the price we pay for being humanly committed and for running the risk of love." (Rabbi Harold Kushner).

Interesting.
