God allowed the Cross.
God allowed WW1 and WW2.
God set to reduces pain by default seems unwise.
People choose punishment over grace and mercy at times. People choose based upon limited comprehension and less than ideal capacity to judge and assess.
Investing in less pain matters, far from a given by default. Give and not expect to get? Better to invest less in the first place.
Justice from human hands might require More Justice is likely not always pondered. Over not over a common system, turned up less is valuable.
Each day people have a choice, punish people more or make more peace and try to inspire positive change.
People have a tendency to amplify and re-amplify systems that work against their cause, a cause like less pain in the world.
If punishment was stopped entirely I am not sure that would be less punishment for all of society. Let those that punish less than ideally go unpunished might lead to more punishment for society? Wind may not might be more ideal when one cannot guarantee ideal justice. Required to fix all corruption in system before claims of ideal punishment seems wiser, grace and forgiveness is powerful.
