Where to begin...
How do we measure happiness and suffering to know which way the scale is tipping?
Is happiness something that can exist without suffering?
Since when is non-existence is superior to suffering?
A happy life is not beneficial to the person having it?
How can happiness not be beneficial while suffering is detrimental; suffering has consequences but happiness does not?
That's one of the biggest loads of bull I've heard in a while. And I've been seeing some pretty large loads of bull lately...
Even it we took it as truth at face value there isn't any good reason to not let the suffering decide for themselves. Once they decide that non-existence is superior to their suffering they won't be around to lament their suffering any longer.
