I don't agree with 'for every bit of suffering there's an equal bit of joy". There's too many people who go through life experiencing very, very little joy and horrible amounts of pain for that to be true. Unless you're not talking about just in one person's life but as the universe as a whole. But even then, with all the evil in the world, there's way more suffering. God can cause and can't prevent pain. There's no doubt about that.
