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

So you can’t say suffering is (always) bad, because it can have good (secondary) effects.

Goodness in one aspect doesn’t cancel badness in another…
It can be always bad AND sometimes good.

I never said they’d “cancel” whatever that means.
yeah we agree suffering can be both good and bad.
