From what I can tell, Nature has no will of it's own, it is essentially a huge set of impersonal processes working in hazardable autopilot. Due to some improbable circumstances, Life happened to appear. It's existence is naturally precarious, it is designed to perpetuate itself, and pain/suffering just proved to be the best reactive mechanism. So our existence is heavy with these things, because things just happened to turn out this way. At least it looks that way to me.

Thanks for the links, they seem quite interesting :) Though I don't quite see the relation between causality / reality and metaphysics. Aren't they things very material/logical by nature ? Maybe metaphysics are the basic ideas shapping our perception / understanding of the world ? And are essentially theoretical assumptionsopening the path for practical sciences ?
