Perharps instinct is some kind of very BASICAL expectation, the very first expectation, very basical need, inconscios expectation.

Expectation of a rabbit is expectation to survive, to reproduse himself.
So if reproduction is basical expectation of all living beings, even in physical level it brings suffering, it's a cause of all suffering, because this expectation is a case of birning, aging and death of living beings.
