Get back to me when you understand it.
It helps if you view this life as a tiny fraction of eternity and we develop and grow as creatures of God along the way. It doesn't mean God created the universe as a sadistic test either there is a good reason why he made all this and why exist as we currently are. I'd say the freewill to have a genuine relationship with God and be allowed to have genuine compassion (or malice if you choose) toward others is a part of the reason. You would rather have this life and the opportunity it gives you than be denied it.
Come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant.
