Yeah, I tried to make my answer here non-religious, but that's what I believe, if there's an afterlife, suffering makes a lot of sense. It also makes sense in another way because it's a product of the Free Will.

A non-religious answer, interesting, I think it all comes down to beliefs though, even atheists have to find something to believe in, other wise they would be swallowed by nihilism and get depressed.
Your example is pretty good (what's the name of this manga btw?), although I think a glimpse of joy is only the first step to finding purpose in life.
I didn't want to name the manga because of some of it's "content," but oh well... It's called "Ai-Ren."
