Comment on If suffering is good because it gives life meaning, wouldn't it follow that hurting people is good?

Post-traumatic growth is a thing. No need to cause more suffering, it’s locally available and plentiful in most parts of the world.

Agreed. There’s plenty of suffering that happens in life just because. Purposeful suffering doesn’t seem like a good thing in most cases.
But there’s also the issue of the definition of suffering. Minor suffering like tolerating a colder thermostat setting in the winter, it saves money and energy, seems rather subjective on where the line could be drawn on bad vs good.
