Someone pulling out your teeth with pliers might indeed be doing it for your own good, but he also might be doing it because he's a sadistic psycho and it gets his rocks off.

You just said that you can't assume that all suffering is bad, so that means that you could assume that some suffering is good. I believe that God is good, and I can observe good coming from suffering in my daily life, therefore I believe that the suffering that God brings upon us is for a good purpose.
