on suffering

According to Nietzsche, humankind means nothing without pain. According to Schopenhauer, unless suffering is the direct object of life, our existence must fail entirely of aim. According to Marukami, pain is inevitable yet suffering is optional.

Agony will never cease to exist in this world and sorrow is inescapable; if it is true that emotional torment is inexorable, does its capacity have a maximum of deductibility? Is there a possible potential state of our kind where we have achieved in reducing suffering to its maximum? Even then, since the pain has simply been reduced, not eliminated completely, how will we be aware that we have minimized it to its highest possibly designated threshold? 

Or is it like dividing an indivisible number, incapable of being divided by any other factors besides itself and 1? Since there will always be a fraction of suffering no matter how small in magnitude, will we as mere humans even hold the ability to be satisfied? Or will we constantly argue that the remainder of suffering that remains can still be divided again, and again, and again? 

I guess that is what the essence of suffering is-- the absence of satisfaction.

I hope I can find satisfaction within myself. :-)
