Globally? Or personally?
I think our suffering rarely makes a difference in the world. It sometimes happens but not often, and not without a lot of hard work and a lot of luck. I doubt I'm willing to put in the hard work, so my suffering would make very little global difference.
On a personal level, it's an intriguing idea.
