Most important?
The end of suffering or understanding why suffering exists?
You were shot with an arrow. Your life is ebbing away. A doctor appears and is preparing to remove the arrow and begin healing you.
Which would you prefer?
Or would you rather the good doctor remove the arrow (so the suffering will end)?
Do not concern yourself with the source, depth, or picture of your suffering.
Only concern yourself with ending it.

You were shot with an arrow. Your life is ebbing away. A doctor appears and is preparing to remove the arrow and begin healing you.
Which would you prefer?
- Would you like the doctor to leave the arrow embedded in your flesh and seek out who shot the arrow (the reason for your suffering)?
- To find and describe the person who shot the arrow (a description of the source of your suffering)?
Or would you rather the good doctor remove the arrow (so the suffering will end)?
Do not concern yourself with the source, depth, or picture of your suffering.
