Sufferring here can refer to at least 3 of the static levels and just because we do
away with
suffering at a Biological level and even a Social level, as humans we will still
retain it at an
intellectual level for some time to come - such is the condition of humans. And then
there is
the "Code of Art" or the Dynamic aspect.....
To say we shouldn't eliminate third world biological suffering is ridiculous and a
cop-out and
the MoQ just doesn't support this sort of attitude and given the context of the above
quote
there is no basis to suppose otherwise.
