Would you be so kind to elaborate on this a bit more? The reason I'm confused by what you wrote above is stemming from the fact that the Buddha explained that the suffering arises from the delusion that life (the cycle of birth and death) offers the possibility of not being suffering. This then gives rise to the pursuit of pleasure, which binds us to the karmic wheel. I'd be really curious to hear how do you propose to refute that contention.
