And where does intention fit in to all this? Is intentionally causing suffering worse that unintentionally causing suffering? Is unintentionally causing suffering through being recklessness worse than unintentionally causing suffering through ignorance? (I know ants suffer but I can't be bothered to take care to not step on them v. I have no idea whether ants suffer because I couldn't give stuff about ants and have never bothered to find out whether they suffer). What if the my primary aim is not to cause suffering but I know that an inevitable consequence of my action will be that suffering is caused, (the dentist who removed my wisdom teeth caused me more suffering than my wisdom teeth did).
How do we manage to get out of bed in the morning with all this to sort out before we can do anything, I wonder.
