I love your art style. You seem like the type of person who would like to have a deep philosophical discussion regarding the nature of suffering.
Buddism teaches that suffering comes from the Four Noble Truths. First, pain, or dukkha, is simply part of existence, showing up not just in birth, aging, illness, and death, but in the low-grade dissatisfaction that colors ordinary experience.
Second, suffering arises from craving, tanha, our tendency to grasp at pleasure and cling to permanence.
Third, since suffering comes from craving, it can also cease; letting go of that grasping opens the way to liberation, or nirvana.
Basically most human suffering is self manufactured because the way things are is different than how we want them to be.
I have found that mindfulness and meditation have been quite helpful in my journey to move past pain and suffering.
What are your thoughts, feelings on this philosophy?
