@nameredacted @RoyalJohnny242 So much of the modern world is build around "avoiding suffering" and in the end that results in so much more suffering.
Take bullying for example. People think they're being compassionate by stopping a bully picking on a kid. But there's usually some problem there. Usually either the bully is overly aggressive, or the kid being bullied is too passive. Stopping the bullying does not solve these problems, it merely causes them to affect more people once they become adults with unresolved social issues.
In the same way that they want to "avoid suffering" by prolonging the life of elderly, unhealthy, or otherwise dysgenic individuals. To avoid grieving and death, but that causes so much more damage both to the individual and society.
It's the selfish sort of "kindness" that means they never wanting to give things up and let them pass naturally.
