This question saddens me, I'm sure your suffering matters to you. Suffering gives us our empathetic nature, suffering is what makes us care for each other, suffering is what makes this species hope for better days, if there's anything that matters in this universe, it's suffering and the conscious welfare of all life. It's the only thing of value to our existence, nothing else matters. If you didn't have suffering, you wouldn't know what was pleasurable, you wouldn't know what was beautiful, you wouldn't know what virtues were. Suffering defines everything in our life, without it we wouldn't exist.
