I think that suffering is a fact of life, but so is the will to live. The will to live is something that struggles against suffering, rather than being the slave of it. Anything that struggles to live does so because there is something in this world that it desires to still experience, even if it no longer has the capability. This is because life is inherently good. Living is something that is done to spite the suffering and horror in the world. Life is the light in the darkness. It brings with it pain, but it also infuses the void with value and meaning. To be against life is to let the darkness win, to take all the good of the world and surrender it to nothingness. It's better to spit at the bad and fight against it, as our instinct calls us to do.
