2. But wouldn't
Experiencing little to no suffering BE something positive in your life? I mean imagine a person who has never been seriously hurt either physically mentally or emotionally - that's pretty positive even if nothing particularly spectacular ever happens to them.

A more concrete example of what you were thinking of might help. Are we talking no suffering but humdrum life of middle class anonymity compared to lots of suffering but an eventual lottery win or cancer cure discovery late in life or what?

Maybe. Have you ever been attacked by a super-intelligent, but aggressive and unethical rabbit who wanted money for a microscope? If you haven't, then perhaps this is one of many positives in your life that you have neglected to be thankful for.
