Reminded me of “All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”
I’m unsure it’s true that “roughly everyone thinks suffering is bad”. In the simplified/truism form maybe, but if you look at, for example, Christian theology, there’s proposed utility to suffering in the ultimate effect it has on you; i.e., the most desirable states of yourself cannot be reached without also having suffering in the path.
