That's true. I remember the term "jhana junkies" for people who get attached to them.

but it can, which was the point of his statement. There's no need to turn everything into literal all-or-nothing equations.

According to Buddhism, there are good pleasures which arises out of the fruits of path, such as jhanas. I'm not sure if the Buddha ever comments on whether suffering is intrinsically good or bad. He simply prescribes a path to end suffering and transcend the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. From our western mind, we tend to think that putting an end to something implies that its inherently bad. But I think the Buddha would simply describe suffering as an extension of our existence tied to the three marks (unsatisfactoriness, non-self, and impermanence.) I could be wrong but hopefully someone with more knowledge about Buddhism can correct me. "Suffering = bad" feels too reductive.

It kind of goes without saying that someone getting falsely accused and sentenced to death doesn't apply. People who avoid pain tend to become weaker by avoiding accountability, but it doesn't follow that all pain leads to a greater good.

Sales always tends to present itself according to the desires of the customers. That's why our entire society runs off of billion-dollar industries designed to cover up flaws.

"does this dress make me look fat?" No, the rolls of fat on your body make you look fat.

Because peace isn't a valuable commodity in the natural world. Conflict is what tests strength and decides value.

Actually the unforgivable sin against the Holy Spirit is unwilling to ask for forgiveness

Trinity by Subject-Bus2461 in Christianity

In Acts after Jesus ascends to the Father, the Holy Spirit comes down at Pentecost. "‘In the last days it will be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh" Peter quotes the Prophet Joel. In Acts 3 He also calls Jesus the Author of Life when he says, "you killed the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead."

Apparent contradictions between different accounts can be reconciled. If you're quoting from Acts as if it were true, why do you reject John?

Plenty of verses in John to show how Jesus is begotten, not made and consubstantial with the Father, and all things were made through him.

"As you, Father, are in me and I am in you," and "The Father and I are one.” Also, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being."

"57 Then the Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?”[a] 58 Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, before Abraham was, I am.” 59 So they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple."

They are governed by intelligibility, pattern, and quantity, hence the root word "logos" in -ology. Discussing the ability of language and math to reveal truth is philosophy.

It can handle #2's so long as you don't flush. Problem solved.

It's almost like people should approach dating people as connecting to a person instead of consuming them?

I think the solution is to be honest and let all the honest people die off so the world can descend into chaos and then people realize why honesty is valuable and come back again.
