Is creation dumb? Are we dumb? Or ignorant, as Buddha would state.

What makes a perfect entity, create something, so full of disease and suffering. Imagine tootaches before the dentist. Or similar things.
What makes us build large corporate entities only to have them enslave ourselves, for all our lives.
Why is our economy so often based on selling images, that contain politics or agendas that are bad for us.
How come we build a world, that is an enemy to the truth, and should you know it, and talk about it, you would be seen as a madman by most.Earth indeed seems like a miserable place. Heaven or should we say, a state of mind, not knowing these things, might be good.
The Quran uses the phrase "life of the world".
Is it this, that makes the Buddha think of ignorance, and that we are chasing desires, instead of being that which we are, without desires.
What is wrong with us!? Why all this monstrosity, if all you really want is kindness and wellbeing. ) -
Earth is perfect.
Look at yourself, you are a perfect creation. Every particle that makes you up is exactly where it belongs.
Why is there suffering? Well you know how in life, you can not know something for 20 odd years, it causes you obscene pain and then suddenly it's like click and you make the tiniest difference and everything's all good? Same thing. Adam and his wife did something they shouldn't have and that gave them knowledge of good and evil and here we are.
Earth is a perfectly harmonious place for the harmonious of intent and hell for those who seek hell. Open your eyes and ears. Are you bringer of heaven or bringer of hell, that's the question you should be asking. Don't worry about how Earth sucks, concentrate on how YOUR piece of earth sucks and rules and suck all the suck out of it.
Look at the difference between people who desire the hereafter in quran and those who desire the life of this world. There is profound irony - those who desire the life of this world will continually regret their past and always plan for the future as if they're the overseers of their own lives. Whereas those who desire the hereafter are conditioned to live in the immediate now and leave all up to ALLAH.
