Can it make one a better person, or lead to good?

What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger?

Can suffering bring out the best in people? Is the goal of life to avoid pain and suffering?

No, trauma doesn't necessrily make you stronger, that's macho bs.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
