I’ve come to the conclusion that suffering is really just anything that invades your focus without your desire for it to happen.
Thinking about anything you would rather not think about is suffering. You get cut and your brain constantly reminds you of it because evolution is a bitch. Hatred, envy, anger, intrusive thoughts, headaches, itchy clothes, annoying noises in your environment, etc. Anything that steals your attention without your consent is suffering.
So if you’re so focused on avoiding suffering you aren’t able to focus on doing what you want then yep, suffering.
Remember folks: being willing and able to admit when you are wrong is much more important and powerful than simply being right
