Suffer or Be Happy

If Creation is perfect, and the Creator has done such a good job, why is there so much suffering? It is such a perfect job that it gives you the opportunity to be whichever way you wish to be. If Creation had not given you this opportunity , then there would be no possibilities, there would be no such thing as liberation.So why create bondage and then liberation? Why couldn't you have just been liberated?
Then there would be no Creation. Only because there is Creation, now there is the possibility of going beyond that.
In other forms of life, there is not much possibility other than to survive, procreate and die one day . So there is no misery either. Their suffering is only physical. In pain, they do not know the kind of suffering that a human being knows.
As a human being, you know this suffering not because Creation gave the suffering to you. Creation just gave you the freedom to make whatever you wish to out of yourself. You're making suffering out of yourself, that is your choice.
There is no end to what a man would want to do to himself to enhance his own grandeur.But somewhere, every human being should be able to place a limit. Some self-restraint is required. Otherwise, your life becomes one of excess.
There is no joy in it; people will become totally frustrated and mentally broken. This is happening to the affluent classes of the world everywhere.Money should have brought well-being, but for most people, it is bringing terrible situations within themselves.
