Why do good people suffer or better yet why does anybody suffer.

Many a disbeliever has justified their disbelief in God on the following basis. - If God is all good and God is all powerful, why do bad things happen? or put another way: If God is perfect and created this world why is there cruelty and suffering? These are not new questions. They have perplexed minds small and great throughout the ages. - It is easy to adopt this type of tone when our understanding of God and his purposes is simplistic. However, if we make trying to understand the purposes of God a study and our understanding matures then we discover that suffering, in all of its forms, is a necessary part of the refinement process that each of us must undergo at some stage. Certain refinements only take place under excruciating circumstances and all these things give us experience. The polishing of fine jewels only occurs as the rough edges are ground off in processes that generate a lot of heat and much abrasion. - Yesterday I posted a post on thought that were triggered by a talk from the Saturday sessions of General Conference https://steemit.com/religion/@gavvet/more-perspectives-on-living-in-a-matrix One of the speakers spoke on the topic of suffering in the Sunday Afternoon session, and he explains this concept in detail. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGYiDAmxYKQ&list=PLClOO0BdaFaOlm9r2Tfo_T3_9kpItdXmm&index=69
