What does Buddhism imply about our relationship to the Causative Force?
Part I of II
If Buddhists are right in their belief that suffering is something that needs our full attention, this implies a significance that may well be so immense it affects the Causative Force Herself.

“Misery, pain, or suffering is not merely one among many other equally prominent features of experience.
It is its chief and overriding feature.”
If sufferingis so significant, would it seem logical that in some way it might impact eternity?
Since existing in eternity is in essence existing in the Causative Force, then it would seem that suffering may well impact the Causative Force Herself.
Who wants to be the one consciously impacting the Causative Force in a negative manner?
Who wants to be the one impacting other souls that lie within the Causative Force in a negative manner?
If it is not you who wishes to do so, then what other choice do you have other than to follow the Buddhist concept of attempting to eliminate suffering?
