I encourage you to do this, because believing or even strongly suspecting that nothing is real is not a reason to cause less suffering to others. It is certainly a reason to be blind towards the suffering you're causing, because the understanding that it's not real anyway is a great incentive not to look close enough at the choices you are making, and how those choices effect others.
My wife had a YouTube channel on Emafe.com and she will start it again soon. Then you can view our life and observe if I am creating suffering or not.
It makes far more sense from my perspective, that believing the suffering others are experiencing is real, would inspire one to cause less of it.
The cause of suffering is ignorance, and ignorance is perceiving meaning where there is none (read my profile on Steemit, you might be surprised with what it says 👍)
I already viewed your profile and was not surprised at all by what I found. You are right to say ignorance causes suffering, and naive to think that you are not creating suffering yourself. Simply by participating in money, in society, in consumerism - you are causing suffering.
Suffering is meaningless.. it's just a thought but believing in its strength increases its strength and increases suffering.
Having said that.. these words are equally meaningless.
