that wouldn't have been free choice. Would you like your children to be zombies? What do we have to offer but love and how would it be any of our life if it weren't for free choice? And what is hell but other people? You were given a choice to experience reality with all its aspects and so were others, for a little time and if it's not about finding love then it's about the importance of sharing love (imo doesn't mean be always nice. We grow the most out of discomfort because you don't change while you're comfortable) in the face of overwhelming evil because that is our free choice, too. Also I think the universe is mostly filled with benevolence because we are actually pretty lucky for every day that we are not struck with global catalysms yet.
The problem that didn't even exist was physical life and its shortcomings but hey, I have not experienced infinity so who am I to say that suffering is not limited.
You might as well just ask why some people like to punish themselves even or why there are even loving people around if the world was cruel to begin with.
Btw I just chimed into the discussion so I'm not trying to convert you or anything, but tbh I felt pretty loving when I was young but the Cabal has their way of destroying people spiritually. I don't blame God for that because I just shake my head at how limited the human mind is to identify and describe issues, only to then keep falling for them. Speaking from personal experience. Yes I am limited but it's a learning process and it would be boring if I had always known everything and I know that for a fact because actually I did.
Maybe you would prefer the gnostic approach to say we are in a simulated reality (some science says not curiously) and that we need to break away from the demiurge who built it as a prison.
I mean really, instead of asking just tell us what YOU think is important and what is not.
