Every concept that irks a person or makes them feel good, are all affecting that person inasmuch as their perspective defines and allows said concepts to affect them. Change your perspective on any concept, and you change the effect it has on your mind/body/spirit.
With a certain perspective, one can sit down to eat a gourmet meal (while being very hungry), and feel completely ashamed of themselves for eating it because they are mentally occupied with the homeless man they gave 5 bucks to down the street, and how regardless of the gift they gave, the homeless man goes on being homeless. There is a certain twist to this perspective-example that I find to be quite absurd and foolish...and that is a product/effect of my own perspective.
Look at creation how ever you so please. Know that there are infinite perspectives, and in those infinite perspectives, everything you ever had a problem with conceptually/emotionally is but one way to look at it all. A good exercise I might offer is this...
Close your eyes and imagine in your mind's eye that you are visually seeing the photons that constitute your reality around you. Imagine how on that level, they are simply vibrating at different speeds, and are not the vibration OF emotions/thoughts/feelings, and instead are just particles of light which are vibrating in order to provide a background substance for things like emotions to exist, as well as all the physical matter we like to call "stuff". Now imagine that as you are seeing these photons vibrating, that you are now seeing the same thing but in the circumstance of someone killing another human being out of the distortion towards revenge. You are still seeing particles of light, which are now twinkling with different degrees of brightness and vibration. Nothing else has changed on that level has it? The photons are simply vibrating at different speeds. You are zoomed in too far to sense things like emotion and thoughts. All you see is light. This is just one other perspective in itself.
Of course you can choose to experience a realm without suffering. It is not so much a question of whether or not you can choose this....I believe the more appropriate question for you would be, why have I chosen to incarnate in a world where the concept of suffering is quite vivid and constantly available to experience?

If we is the creator, are we aint so by the very fact that we are the creator that has taken it upon itself to believe we must suffer? If so, may we suspend same? As the adept crystallized, may we therefore offer ourselves the unmitigated opportunity to un-suffer?
