Pain and suffering are perceptual in context. The pain a masochist might feel is joy. Where as a pain that is applied to a paralytics body may not even be registered. This is if we are talking strictly physical pain but because you attach the word suffering to your question this could be mental as well. Several disciplines have taught how to be ambivalent to pain. Biblicaly in this life there will be many trials, pains, and suffering.( I am paraphrasing here)
How you decide to experience that trial, pain or suffering will determine whether your reality allows pain to be a limitation or an opportunity for something more or even whether or not that pain is painful at all.

As human, we have to change to eliminate pain and suffering. I doubt we will erradicate completely. If we spread love and peace, we may erradicate someday. I hope so.

Yes but not as long as we are in this mortal body. This body has to be changed to immortal, the devil has to be erradicated, then we will have peace forever, only for the ones who believe in Jesus as the only Son of God to take away the sin of the world.

The soul will always stay alive, and life will never end. The pain that we feel when we die will stay with us forever. Unlike our current state of existence, the afterlife is filled with people feeling continuous pain when they wake-up. Also, life itself is a dream that seems real, but it is not. We are all dreaming. I just wish I could wake up. This all does seem real, however. There are three phases of reality. The real reality, which I am not in, and the dream state of the real reality. The false state is what we are in ant it is not real. It seems quite real, doesn’t it? Currently we are being deceived. Rene Descartes was close in his hypothesis many years back, but he left out the most vital aspect for his argument. Life is a dream. Nothing is real.

No. Recently, I had someone very close to me diagnosed with cancer. I have learned that the pain is as significant in our lives as the pleasure. When bad things happen, it is only truly bad if we don't learn something from it. I question why this had to happen to his life then I realized that that IS life, the good and the bad are both necessities to it. We grow and gain strength through the pain and suffering.

yes, and no. pain and suffering is intergal to material life and so having a human body or even an animl or plant body we have to expience pain. even if you get a very comfroatbel life and a lot of luck, you still have to die and that is painful.
However, its possible to be aloof from the pain. thats what spiritual life is about. Becoming detached from both pain AND pleasure. There's more to sp. life too, but part of it is that.

From human life: No. Without pain and suffering, we as humans would not know what is good for us. We have to have both good and bad to lead a healthy life, to be fully formed and rounded. God does not intend us to live the "perfect" life until heaven (assuming there is one).

These thems are not under total control of men, so I do not think it will be erradicated, only God could

I think that until the Lord returns there will always be pain and suffering in this world. The world is increasingly getting worse and worse. Things are not getting better and they never will until the day of reckoning.

No. Pain is a response that tells our brain what part of our bodies are being damaged. Suffering is a result of either pain, other people, death, disorders, the list goes on and on.
