So suffering not only means to be in the painful realms such as the three hells. The other three are good realms in Samsara, but all these six realms of Samsara are suffering.

Because there are heavenly beings, we feel suffering if we are not there.

If where we live is only hell, if there's no idea or concept of heaven, that is a much better place.

Then we don't think "this is bad," or "this is negative," but because of the relativity, we can compare with some better place, and we feel "this is not good."
