This is not to say that we do not suffer. But the suffering is definitely not in the world. The suffering is within us. Only 100%. The suffering is only in the thoughts and emotional response that is triggered inside us because of a so called outside or worldly event. A simple evidence of this fact is that same event in the world can trigger a different emotional response in different people.
Suffering is nothing but suppressed emotions. These suppressed emotions create the perception and sense of suffering. Our suppressed emotions and feelings get triggered based on outside events in the world and the impression created in the mind is that events in the world are the reason for our suffering. We are seeing the world based on our inner make up. Nothing more but nothing less.
We spend our life trying to manage outside situations in a way that our suppressed emotions are not triggered hence hoping to keep the suffering away. However, Key to the resolution of the root cause of suffering is fix where the suffering is really located – inside us.
