With a sufficiently advanced technology and the know-how to genetically remove pain and suffering out of humans, we will have the choice to rid ourselves of suffering forever.

At that point, we will choose our ability to suffer.

Why? Simple. We’ll realize that without suffering, we have no perspective. Good cannot be good without bad. Pleasure cannot exist without pain.

Can you imagine if every day were perfect, with no lesser days to judge it by? Every day would be perfect, but you wouldn’t know it was perfect because every day would be just like every other day.

In other words: life would be horribly boring.

We’ll realize this when the time comes to choose.

And choose suffering we will. At that moment, it will be transformed from something excruciating to something exquisite. After this transformation, when a loved one dies, the pain will still be unbearable; but it will also be beautiful because you have chosen that pain, in honor of the loved one.
