Why

Why? Why do we suffer? What's the point? People are born with terrible conditions, live lives of torment and pain. Die painful horrible deaths. Why? Why would a God created such conditions? To teach us lessons? Seems cruel I think. Wouldn't there be kinder gentler ways to get the job done? Couldn't God create a world where happiness, peace and tranquility abound? Must we suffer to prove something to warrant nirvana? God made us, why so imperfect then? What's the point? Is the game rigged for some others to watch be entertained ? Seems cruel don't you think? What kind of loving god would treat us like this?
