So there are various takes on how evil, suffering, pain and the like enter the world
Plato; Plotinus; Leibniz; Spinoza: Due to ignorance of your 'true' self you choose actions that don't benefit you and thus fall back on you to plague you
Darwinian evolution: suffering can help evade threats to DNA-reproudction and thus has a role
Jewish mysticism (Zohar): God's original relationship to those he created is pure affirming love for every individual ... but pure affirmation becomes incoherent when those individual creatures want to harm each other ... so out of this tension dialectically God has to re-emerge as a Judging God. ... now the capacity of Judgement can get divorced from the capacity to Love and when that happens the hells, demons etc. come into existence.
Marx: The material conditions make it necessary that human beings have to work. The original material conditions are so that work will be organized in such a way that there are owners of production-facitilites and workers. The owners exploit the workers and thus great suffering appears.
And so on ... and so on....
What do you think is the source of your suffering?

Physical pain aside, suffering to me is usually self inflicted, not letting go of things in the past,

Accept disgrace willingly. Accept misfortune as the human condition.
What do you mean by "Accept disgrace willingly"? Accept being unimportant. Do not be concerned with loss or gain. This is called "accepting disgrace willingly."
What do you mean by "Accept misfortune as the human condition"?
Misfortune comes from having a body. Without a body, how could there be misfortune?
Surrender yourself humbly; then you can be trusted to care for all things.
Love the world as your own self; then you can truly care for all things.

I was in one with a driver who was all gooched up on fool's juice, she plowed into the back of a parked dump truck at 20mph and we were all fine except for her car, the hood accordioned. Why was I in a car with a drunk driver? I was young and so so so dumb.
Glad you're OK, Hyper.

There’s two reasons I don’t drink and drive and that’s because of two separate incidents where friends were drinking and driving 1. A girl lost her life 2. My friend became permanently quadriplegic

What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: 'This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh and everything unutterably small or great in your life will have to return to you, all in the same succession and sequence' ... Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus? Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him: 'You are a god and never have I heard anything more divine.' - Nietzsche, The Gay Science
