TracerBullet,
A good question, for which have been searching for answers for years.... Still looking but trying to explain.... But for this, we have to change our perception of time and life as we see it....
E.g If we have a dream... which is sad and brings us pain.... When we wake up, we realize that it was just a dream.... So if we can consider our life (with all the aches and pains) in the context of it being a blink in terms of eternity, our perception and thinking of all triumph and victory of evil over good all sadness and pain that seem meaningless to us now, will somehow makes sense......
Another example - Say that a child plays truant and runs across the road without looking, (or such) or being aware of his action, and he does this repeatedly, will a father on seeing this, not correct his child by scolding him or even giving a slap to teach a lesson? If this happens, the child who loves the father may not understand the reason for his fathers painful slap or punishment and may resent him or even hate him.... But this is because of his own immaturity that the child cannot see the fathers love for him.... and that his father has acted in a manner that though it is painful for him to punish the child, it is but what he needs to do as a responsible loving father and for the long term good of his son.
And you can comment... there are no right or wrong answers here, we speak of our own life experiences, thinking, beliefs, search, truths and reality.... this is mine....

I wont continue on this - but why do you think god is supposed to be so. Look around, nature is built on violence. And to flip the argument, if he is kind and loving etc, why would he treat us any diffferent than how humans treat other 'less able' species ..
