Of course, It is no doubt one can think in an entirely different way and care about many more than suffering, most people do so. This post wasn’t intended to show suffering is the only thing we should care about (it may be true, it may not, also depend on how do we define suffering—I claim here we can treat life as a negative state, as suffering sensu lato,), It just gives a sense of possible reasoning IF assume only suffering is important. Of course, the measure is crucial and situations of small measure, in general, should be considered less serious. I would make an exception when it comes to the possible astronomical amount of suffering though. Also much depend on how do You define things (it can be argued we care only about the subjective experience if every motive can be reduced to “egoism”)
