Well, from the perspective, is that non-suffering and peace, will be the end state of every living being eventually. Given that, was suffering worth character building? I propose perhaps it is. Perhaps anything that enriches character building is worth any given suffering, because suffering would be trivial given that every being would living in a state of peace and happiness eventually.
Also perhaps another premise is that for God to create a world which some suffering would bring about a greater good, some suffering would not. Therefore the first premise I purposed in this thread may not be true. It maybe true, it may not be. Perhaps there is delicate balance here we can't articulate.
