To think God would create a world where nothing bad happens is the most naive way to think

I am sure God could have created a life with only good. It would be like always winning. Then what meaning does winning really have. And even consider that in tragedy often great things come out of it. Not that I am saying it's good. But there is more to think about in this area

In order for humans to perceive the true meaning of good, there must be the opposite of good.

After the fall, God placed us in THIS world, where we were no longer protected or shielded from all harm.

THIS is a world of vicious predators, and only by being tough and canny will we survive it, OR, conversely, by camouflaging ourselves well. IF we are good at surviving, we have the peace and safety required to contemplate spiritual matters.

Those who survive evil in this world will often grow to greater heights spiritually, and the light within them will become much brighter.
