hi f13ticket my quick & direct response to your post is: The world is not suffering. Suffering is mental torment, affliction or disturbance. We do not "detach" from suffering. We end suffering. And yes, suffering arises from our cravings. Some people define Buddhism as non-attachment because the world is not suffering. The world is impermanent, the world is unsatisfactory (cannot bring true happiness), the world is imperfect. So we practise non-attachment because we must live in the world and have certain relationships to the world.
