God's nature is always to bless and therefore, we can see that even among the unsaved, God does not want to draw them back to Him through trouble or distress. God could have used many means of torment to bring people back to Him but His main weapon is love and blessing. The reason why people still suffer are two fold. One is due to inherent evil in man because of which they betray and exploit each other and end up in all sorts of trouble. The other is when God judges people due to the ripeness of their sin and reveals His righteous nature to them which He cannot hide for long. The righteous nature of God demands that God punish people for their sin and when He judges, it is a sign of something worse to come. He is however delaying His final judgment and in the meantime, man is enjoying the fruit of God's inherent goodness, not knowing that the goodness of God should lead to repentance. It almost seems like man is taking advantage of God's goodness but sadly, it will all come to an end. God cannot be taken for granted, forever.
