Why did god create a universe in which so many of his children would not be saved? [Spirituality & Religion]

A parent has a child. He/she plans to rear, educate, fortify and protect this child. The child will be taught all the important lessons and then set free upon the earth to make his way. No parent on the world can guarantee absolute safety or happiness for that child.

What if lessons, creativity and expansion of though progress through trial and tribulation? I might be granted a full-ride scholarship; doesn't guarantee all A's or even a decent education.

Maybe we're all given exactly what we need in order to learnt he lessons we're supposed to. Some of those lessons will be about winning, some about losing and others about pain and loss. Too often in these equations, the positive is overwhelmingly under evaluated.
