Because of Injustice and the lack of Unity amongst mankind.
O SON OF SPIRIT!
The best beloved of all things in My sight is Justice; turn not away therefrom if thou desirest Me, and neglect it not that I may confide in thee. By its aid thou shalt see with thine own eyes and not through the eyes of others, and shalt know of thine own knowledge and not through the knowledge of thy neighbor. Ponder this in thy heart; how it behooveth thee to be. Verily justice is My gift to thee and the sign of My loving-kindness. Set it then before thine eyes.

The amount of inequality and suffering and all the negative this in this world are all just terms used by us humans. It is because of humans that there is a lot of inequality and suffering. Inequality and suffering exist only in the hypocritic human social fabric.
All good is a state similar to Utopia. All bad, in colloquial terms , is hell. There has to be bad to recognize the positiveness of good in this world. A saying goes - "Light without darkness is nothing. Darkness without light is nothing."
I hope I have cleared your doubts.

I understand, why? But It is really simple when you eliminate an preconceived ideas. I assume that you are in a western society. We have it so good, even those that are consided poor. Look at the universe. Chaos. That is what it is, but here and there is beauty. From the macrocosms to the hell that a plant or animal on any level has to go through every second of their lives, life is competition. I keep in mind daily the ole Serenity Prayer: God, grant me the serenity to except the things I cannot change , the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference....... Hang in there, and do what you can. Because there is no other option.

Because of human nature. It bothers me when people think that humanity in general is good at heart, because I know they're wrong, but if I say so I look like a pessimist and a bigot and goodness knows what else. People are willing to put others down or stand up on their shoulders, and treat them as though they were worthless. Other people are so passive that they don't want to get involved, which is a form of selfishness that disguises itself the greatest against the guy who has it. People are naturally selfish but a few of them find joy in overcoming, and give to charity and do good things. It helps them feel good, and it helps others to. If more people chose to overcome, the world would be a better place (of course it would help with poverty and starvation if people in third-world countries had fewer children).
Maybe if everybody went through this doorway like a metal detector, which filters out the greedy, evil parts of our nature, it would be the solution. Or we could become a bunch of happy loonies who die because they don't care enough about themselves to take care of themselves. Sorry, my sci-fi side got the better of me again.

Because Man chose to try and make his own way by his own imperfect thought and shaped the world by his own will instead of obeying God and following His perfect thought and perfect plan for this world. When Man has finally messed things up so very badly that the existence of the world is in doubt, Jesus will come again and teach us all the way to truly live and there will be no more poverty or war or inequality and we will live life the way God intended in peace and bountiful harmony

There is always inequality and there's always suffering. Always has been and likely always will be. I suspect if everything were happy and perfect, the world would be bland and dull. It is frequently the adversity and suffering which gives rise to some of the most beautiful music, art and invention.

GREED, pure and simple. The rich just want to get richer, and they don't care who suffers.
Take Ontario Province for example. Those people on the provincial disability pension got a 2% increase in November. The provincial government gave themselves a 25% increase!! (About $22,000 more per person)
They claimed they wanted to be more in line with the federal government pay scale. Have you any idea what $22,000 can do for someone on a disability pension?
And thats just one example in my own back yard.

Because we are disconnected from each other, and therefore we dont give a flying sh** about what each other goes through. But be honest, if you won lets say 20 million dollars, how much of it would you give away for charitable reasons? Its more than what you actually need to survive with, and there are people who need to be helped more than you.
Life seems unfair if you view the glass as being half empty rather being half full.

There has to be suffering in order to appreciate and good things,even if the good are small.Every day hour minute second is a blessing that we breathe, feel, taste, see, and touch.
We all are human man has been using God to make excuses for killing man all in the name of Power,Control and money.
It is really sad and scary when you think of it that is why you enjoy every day like it is your last who knows when yours will end....

Because inequality leads to suffering and suffering leads to pain therefore they are interrelated.
