There must be some suffering in the world in order for there to be even greater goods.
People suffer because God, just like us, sometimes just has a bad day. We are created in his image, after all.
There is suffering in the world because God saw fit to give humans free will, and unfortunately some people use their free will for evil.
God created the world for his own enjoyment, and he likes to watch people suffer.
