suffering is beneficent as there exists no other impetus to draw beings out of distress and towards furthered wellness
it is all-but as crucial to the morphology of reality as orgasm itself
there is no evil
everything is fundamentally Good.

You are retarded but I don't blame you. You started with a correct but imprecisely expressed insight, which if betterly put would be: suffering exists as a signal whose purpose is alerting the living body of potential or real damage to itself in any sphere it imagines as important (including here psychological suffering) to "convince it" to try to prevent the damage from being furthered and thus to protect it. But from this you jump to "it is (...) crucial to the morphology of reality" and "there is no evil", things which not only do not follow, but are easily disproved by anyone with the minimum of reflection on the subject. There is evil! Or else what do you call the damage to the living body that the suffering mechanism was alerting the living body about? Getting poked in the eye is an evil to try to ward off, as is getting your hand burned. It's not evil because it hurts, it's evil because it damages the living body, making it less likely to survive. Saying "suffering is crucial to the morphology of reality" ia akin to saying "reality would have no morphology without suffering" or "reality's morphology necessarily has suffering" whereas suffering is an evolved trait of living beings, which have not always existed, as showed by the theories of evolution and abiogenesis. So... at the time living beings weren't here yet, reality had no suffering, but you said reality necessarily has suffering at all times. Absurd. QED. I guess the source of your errors must be that you're stuck in some form of psychological realism, that is, you must believe that there is no reality to external objects independent of the human mind (or animal mind, etc).
