I listened to some lecture that our preferences, for example, in art, are caused by evolutionary moments. For example, according to statistics, we like more contrasting images, because at one time the one who examined the leopard in the thicket extended his genus, and the ability to recognize this kind of visual information is reinforced by dopamines, hence the bhava feelings from high art. In general, you can’t argue, although there are questions, different facets ..
But the following thought occurred to me - pain, and any suffering, is also an instrument of evolution. And therefore, the ability to suffer should also be encouraged by dopamine. In theory, those who were unable to feel pain and suffering should have died out, and those who were able to get a carrot for this. It turns out that as long as we are not perfect, have not reached the highest state, liberation, the tendency to suffer in us will be supported by our structures? Vicious circle? The third principle of yoga - the renunciation of suffering - from this point of view is super-logical, somewhere here is the edge of the transition to super-logic, here the Man becomes "Non-animal". Actually, it seemed interesting.
What do you think?
