> life won't get any better as long as suffering and evil exist. but who am i kidding, nobody wants that. people want more wars, more suffering. people are sick, there is something deeply wrong with them. this. my mother was on drugs and missing / living on her own for some 10 years. we were notified that she was in the hospital on death's door like a year ago or something. very skinny, bone infection crippled her, etc. opioids, by the way. over the next few months she was nursed back to health by family. i don't know the details i stayed mostly away because i was uncomfortable and a coward. she gained the weight back, was mostly off the drugs saved for stuff that was prescribed for the surgeries she needed. her behavior turned increasingly worse apparently and she was kicked out home due to apparent continued drug use, back to her previous living situation, with the words "i never want to see you again". i don't expect her to survive long beyond what the body fat will last her. (even if she has some money and a home, the drugs kill your appetite so you just don't eat.) i guess the reason i shared this, is that additional suffering isn't going to somehow make her better, or be the final straw that broke the back and make her see the error of her ways. more suffering will just cause her to suffer more, and that accumulation of suffering will spread to other people, in the same way that laughter and good mood of those around you make it easier to be in a good mood yourself. people don't need excess suffering. they need kindness, understanding, pity, help, etc. the only thing that will save her is intervention from god.
