There

Luke 12:23

Where your treasure is there will be your heart also

Matthew 8:12

The sons of the Kingdom will be cast out there is where be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

Where?  Outside?  No.  It means they are finding themselves on the outside and they wonder why they are weeping (their soul is weeping) because they are cast out.  Their casting out is causing their distress, not Satan. So the scripture points to HOW.  You're looking for cause?  THERE it is.  If you know what is the cause you can fix it.  In my world, anyway, that's how it goes.

But instead they (not everyone I know) are rejoicing in their suffering that Satan and the sons of Satan will  suffer the same later.  I don't think it works that way.

They are suffering for their OWN bad decision and they could change it, if they could only SEE IT.  

What do I think the cause is?  Jealousy.  They see the prophets where righteous.  They want to be righteous too.  There's nothing wrong with that.

Matthew 8:11

Many will come recline with Abraham, Issac and Jacob [they stand for works according to accurate knowledge] in the Kingdom of the Heavens.

So I mean there does not mean the place of the gnashing of the teeth but the reason for it.  It means the reason is there to see.

The warning "do not judge" was not taken to heart.  Therefore they will find themselves weeping and gnashing the teeth.  Gnashing the teeth is repentance that comes too late.  It is caused by sinning against the Holy Spirit.

They suffer, but not according to accurate knowledge.  They suffer BECAUSE other people do not.

28“But he became angry and was not willing to go in; and his father came out and began pleading with him.29“But he answered and said to his father, ‘Look! For so many years I have been serving you and I have never neglected a command of yours; and yet you have never given me a young goat, so that I might celebrate with my friends; 30but when this son of yours came, who has devoured your wealth with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.’
