A common assumption is that without suffering there can be no progress. The answer I found in a transhumanist site is that suffering isn't the only possibe drive, nor even the best, only the easiest.

Did anyone notice that happy people are usually the most active ? Happiness and motivation/creativity go hand in hand, it is suffering in a its forms that cripples our will to live and act.

Remember, everything that currentlly exists was originally born from utter chaos, so it stands to reason that the current state of things would have a huge margin of progress.
