Why are we born to suffer? It seems like the only true constant in existence is suffering.

And this suffering being meaningless seems to indicate that is always better to cease to exist.

i think it's illusory.
part of the human condition is to avoid discomfort. if you are hungry, go forage for food. if you are afraid of the loud noise, get away from it.
the subjective experience of suffering, and the avoidance of it, and the reward for getting away from suffering, is how animals survive.
we've reached the point where survival is practically guaranteed, but the suffering drive is still there. i don't think humans can be free of suffering. it's inherent to the machine. you can be comfortable, but you still feel suffering because you are aware of your finite life, and you feel guilt because you're not making the most of it.
that makes sense to me, at least. it's a combination of animalistic avoidance of discomfort as well as awareness of mortality.

But I would like to attract your attention to the fact that suffering is subjective. What you call suffering, someone else might find it quite amusing. And while you ask yourself these questions, others just live life on autopilot. So maybe the real question should be why are you such an autist?

it just comes down to the fact that suffering helps us to improve our lives one aspect at a time, one era a time.

it's no coincidence that despite it's inherent signal as immediate damage or infliction of damage physically/emotionally. that we live our lives avoiding pain and steadily 'evolving' over time to deal with this condition

we improve the quality of our lives and my extension, the quality of humanity. progress is a subjective word when dealing with the concept of evolution, but the point is that we generally move forward because of this

You can choose to commit suicide at any time. I'm pretty sure the original soul could ask to be deleted too. Either way, your point doesn't refute the ability of doing choices, even if you did not choose to be born it doesnt prove you can't choose after that.

This entire discussion is fucking retarded, I'm discussing with a moron who sincerely believes all his opinions were imposed on him by mechanical laws yet is trying to convince others to believe in the same thing because? You are like a virus by choice, there is no point in trying to debate with a virus because it doesn't believe anything as it could not have chosen an alternative, it just seeks to propagate its DNA for some reason. If you were a conscious rational agent you could conclude a priori that free will must exist in order for any truth to exist and that by engaging in disucssion you actively recognize that is true.

We suffer because we don't get what we want.

Suffering isn't same as pain. Pain can bring suffering or happiness, depending on the situation. In some situations you want pain, but but dont get it and suffer.

The normal life is full of suffering. We wake up in the morning, we suffer a bit from realizing we have to do get up from the bed, do the morning chores, go to work/school, etc Thats just from the simulation of whats to happen in the morning alone. When you wake up from bed, you suffer once more realizing your body aches from aging and you wish you were healthier/younger/fit/etc. You go to the kitchen to make your food, you suffer from the realization that its a cumbersome task where you have to wait 5 minutes to heat up the pan for you to make the omellete, then you try to crack the egg and it doesn't crack properly leading to egg shells falling inside the cup that you wanted to mix the eggs. You suffer from the tiniest of misalignment with reality, then when you try to get that egg shell out, your fingers get gooey and you suffer because you have to wash your hands again. Then you turn on the faucet and the water is bit cold and you suffer the mental anguish. You then decide to wait 20 seconds for the hot water to flow through the pipes and in that moment you suffer as you realize you have to wait those seconds. And so on.

Every waking moment is followed by suffering in life simply because we don't have proper understanding of reality and our expectations fail all the time in our lives.

In order to feal pleasure, one must feel pain. That said, there's no universal truth that labels pleasure as good and pain as bad. They are both equally valid bodily responses, each serving a practical purpose.

Your suffering comes from a bad interpretation of your feelings and emotions. We learned these responses in early childhood, mostly from how our caregivers treated us.
Some were lucky to have an awesome upbringing and are now thriving.
Others were not so lucky and are tredding through life, battling each day as if it were our adversary.

Good news js, we can learn to reinterpret our internal dialogue.
Bad news is it's very difficult. It requires thousands of hours of self-study or thousands of $$ at the therapist (assuming we've found a competent one).

>Why are we born to suffer?
we're not, because phrasing it that way implies that you are born for a reason, and that this reason is to suffer
in reality, the reason you are born is simply because of natural selection, only organisms which successfully survive and reproduce will have continued existence, and thus you're the consequence of such successfully reproducing organisms (your ancestors, including your immediate ancestors, i.e. your parents)
>It seems like the only true constant in existence is suffering.
not really true, but it does permeate the vast majority of life
>this suffering being meaningless
here you're mixing up some terms that many people tend to have difficulty distinguishing, i.e. "meaning" and "purpose"
emotions themselves by definition do not have meaning, just as life itself doesn't have meaning, but they often do have a purpose, and that purpose is to drive you to engage in behaviors that lead to survival and reproduction
of course, due to various flukes, this mechanism will often result in suffering that is without purpose at all, especially when old, due to the suffering still being present to drive you to survive and reproduce even when there's no longer any chance of that happening, such as e.g. trying to get you to mitigate chronic injuries that are never going to get better
>always better to cease to exist

If a gene has a neutral affect on an organism it might stay in the gene pool for lack of being 'selected against.' However, depression causes a reduction in fitness; this suggests that it must confer an advantage another way.

Wrong, you said it is something novel to the modern era that will disappear in one generation when it is clearly present in all of recorded history and has persisted from antiquity to modernity through many generations.

Anatomically modern humans have been around for over 300,000 years. Your diseased worldview has been around for maybe a few thousand years, and its proliferation within the general population has been going on for less than two centuries, with the afflicted societies showing exponential decreas in population numbers. lol

That is much longer than the single generation claim you keep making, were you lying then or are you lying now?
What was the population of nihilists in 1900 and what is the population of nihilists now (with sources other than your ass, obviously)?

The only problem with your idea of existence being 100% consensual is the prospect of eternal return but otherwise I agree life with your point.

What bearing does the fact that some philosophy memers entertained cancerous ideas thousands of years ago have on the fact that docile cattleheads with no drive to engage with life fail to reproduce, thereby rapidly reducing the population with whom those cancerous ideas resonate on an emotional level?

Shove anyone, no matter what genes they have, inside a cabin for long periods of time and they will go crazy. If you keep them there long enough the craziness will be sustained.
There are no crazy genes. Circumstances and environments are what trigger schizophrenia.
