What are the metaphysics that explain suffering and an ending of
suffering.
Suffering is a sign that if possible within your moral guidelines
that you need to change something to eliminate or minimize
the suffering. For example if you experience pain when you
place your hand near a hot stove, you should move your
hand away. And that applies both to your own suffering and
the suffering of others (i.e. you may be able to change something
to eliminate or minimize the suffering of others).
What about whole populations that suffer do to poverty,etc.?
There are basic human needs; air, water, food, sleep. Then also
consider that death impending is not an enemy but a friend, the
ultimate answer to suffering, and the ultimate end to that suffering,
yet death is not death, but a step up in evolution and consciousness.
I know The Buddha, in the four nobel truths says suffering is rooted
in craving ... could this be related to "the human condition"?
I would say yes. Not everyone is able to detach themselves from
the basic needs that keep the body alive.
