Evil shouldn’t be directly tied to suffering, because suffering is often necessary, and when it leads to growth, suffering is even good. But suffering can also cause people to turn inward, become egotistical, and relieve their suffering by inflicting pain on others (who perpetuate this cycle in their own lives). When people allow this to happen, they’ve been tempted into evil.

Note that because God always uses suffering to a beneficial end, it is impossible for God to commit evil.
