Surely the "cause" of suffering is being alive.

Subject: [COMMUNITYPSYCHUK] on 'prevention', liberation and suffering
I came across this quotable insight.....
"Anyone working for a saner world will, from time to time, be faced with
the choice of caring for present suffering or working to remove the cause
of suffering. The choice is always painful. More so because we know that a
preoccupation with present suffering-of which there is apparently an
inexhaustible supply-is a means of social control. We all know people who
have become so involved in caring for present suffering that they have not
time and eventually no optimism for the radical changes which would remove
the source of the problem."
