Eckhart Tolle argues that most human suffering isn't from natural disasters or disease, but from what we create for each other. An unawakened collective consciousness perpetuates cycles of pain, conflict, and oppression. The more people remain unconscious, the more suffering spreads.
we are going through a cycle of regression when humans become more unconscious again and produce more suffering for themselves and others. Yes, there has been some suffering through natural disasters and disease, but the even greater part of suffering was inflicted by humans on other humans. Self-created suffering out of an unawakened state of consciousness. And that unawakened state of consciousness, collective consciousness, creates suffering.
