## Reduce Suffering

All life responds to stimuli. Some stimuli is positive, such as food or safety. Other stimuli is negative, such as pain or danger. Biologically, "suffering" is any form of negative stimuli. It is true that life requires some suffering. For instance, we learn what not to do through pain. However, that does not mean that all suffering is necessary. All living things will move away from a state of suffering if at all possible. Amoebas will flee predators, just as wildlife will flee forest fires.
