Anyone have a satisfying answer?

God makes people suffer? How is that a satisfying answer? Making people suffer is just about the most unloving thing to do. And if God is unloving, what hope is there for us? We're all doomed then, aren't we?

because people are selfish and negative (for the most part)

Good question. I think the best answer is the Biblical one - that we are all sinful at our center. Some people blame society, but I reject that. After all, society is just people; and if we were not bad to start with, neither would society be. The basis of most suffering therefore comes from people. Some people would say selfishness, which is true as far as it goes, but that is an incomplete answer. For example, what causes selfishness then? If men were not evil at their core, then wouldn't they be kind and not selfish? You have to think these things through.
What about the rest of suffering, not caused by man? Again, I think the Bible has the answer - that God created the world good but through sin - that of man and angels - it became difficult. Some people talk is if angels are always good, but that doesn't make any sense. If men can sin, why can't angels? And when an angel sins, it's going to be way worse than when men sin.

The world is divided into two parts in every catagory of existanace,and two major kind of peoples rule each side
"good peoples" and "bad peoples" ,the war between these
peoples cause the suffering you mantioned,their is one solution
for this, i personally advise you to take side and accept that
no matter what happens you did the right thing not to suffer anymore.

"because God left this place a long time ago..."
that was a line on the movie Blood Diamond :-)
Let's be Christ/Buddah/Allah in this world. Let us bring the lost God for us not to suffer
whatever God means to you. :-)
BY THE WAY...
isn't it great? the reason for suffering is for us to bring the greater good. :-)
