You're right - it doesn't seem to make sense that we suffer with all kinds of problems when there are more important things happening. But nevertheless, we still suffer all the time, and a lack of contentment at our core at a time of peace can be such a reason for suffering. In the midst of a war, life is heightened, and so there's no time for this more superficial level of dissatisfaction to emerge. But nevertheless, I can't imagine that you'd suggest to OP to go and fight as a mercenary in Ukraine as a way of relieving what he's finding difficult.
