If we freely choose suffering, how can we possibly claim that it is to be avoided? Like all things, suffering is a tool for growth. The belief that it should not exist typically lacks an appreciation for what it really is.
The question that was brought up, discussed and was of concern, is *extreme* suffering, and its necessity; and while some of us can choose our lives pre-incarnatively, many has not come this far. Should these entities experience this extreme suffering, before they are able to choose it for themselves? I've read that many Wanderers on this very board find it of concern.
I don't claim to have any answers to that question myself.
