As for why there is sin and suffering and evil in the word (the original topic), the answer is quite obvious from the theological perspective.
​
Without sin righteousness is undefined and does not exist. Without suffering there can be no joy. Without evil there can be no goodness.
​
Suffering in excess is not good but would we really fit into a lukewarm world with nothing to strive for and nothing to seek?
