You are the one who asked why it is that we suffer, not me. The reason for that is plain as the nose on your face, Bro. We suffer because there is sin in the world. There is a scripture that talks about the whole creation groaning:


Rom8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, 21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. 23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. 24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
Romans 8:20-24 (KJV)



Suffering is going to be with us until God comes back.
