No.
I came here through no choice of my own. Check.
I will encounter suffering. Check.
Whether I am miserable is largely up to me. I can choose to try to develop a state of mind where I understand the “why” of suffering, and develop a belief and philosophy that allow me to compartmentalize it and experience joy separately from it. This allows a great deal more than just “life sucks and then you die”.
