It is a natural subconscious behavior of the extremely complex nerve ends to conceptually 'slice up' the single, seamless process that they belong to into a vast multiplicity and diversity of different, separate things and events. This makes them feel fundamentally isolated from the rest of Reality, and in turn causes tremendous suffering.
The nerve ends that are less complex (i.e. the rest of the animal kingdom) don't have the capacity to do that, and so don't have the capacity to deeply suffer.
