Here is a test for you. Trust in The Lord with all your heart and prove it. :)

Truely, if your heart truely seeks God and surrenders, regardless of how humiliating(humbling) it is, unto Him alone, you will have the answers you desire. And I can guarantee, that if you truely choose God, you will not be disappointed. He loves you. The source of goodness itself is God. I'm a witness, God has already won every battle, big or small. He is perfect. Regardless of what humankind attemtps to claim. He loves you.

How many others would bear the pain that Jesus endured...

That sounds very much like "Stop asking questions and have blind faith instead" to me.

I absolutely agree. But I would feel emotionally conflicted about it. No-one's promising I would live a life of happiness on Earth.

But that IS a claim made about Heaven. And I cannot see how it can actually work in practice as long as you care for other people which, let's face it, is pretty much the prerequisite for moral behaviour in the first place.

I can't either. But that is one of the critical promise given by God.

As I said, in the Heaven, God will take sorrow away. Even I don't know how would it work, but there are many other promises I don't understand either. For example, there will be no death either. Can you figure that one out according to your human standard?

I don't understand your point here. You are saying God is so violent because he gave humans free will? What's the connection here?

They are. If you wish you can just return to the title topic.

Human does not listen to God (so you can't say if you were God, you will do this or that to save all the troubles). But God wants to guide human, so he will listen eventually.
