How would we know our nature without contrast? What you post is reality, and it's not evil. It is opportunity to be your greatest self. Relate to the suffering and you will suffer. Heal instead. Bring divinity into expression. You can be your greatest or suffer as a victim. It's all choice.
What you mention are aspects of God, no more or less divine than us. Perhaps instead of looking at one event, you could see that the lives of all involved were entirely gifts. If someone loaned you a Mercedes for a week, would you despise them for taking it back? Form and life are as this, a gift. Every experience ever known, ever lived, is a treasure.
Can we love murderers and beings that cause great harm. Of course. We need to understand hell to do so. I've been there and learned to guide lost souls to safety. You can read of it in my NDE if you like. See my prior post re: NDERF.

Being happy has nothing to do with the metaphor for God, and all to do with alignment as a right and noble being. Congratulations on your happiness; you could not be so, were you not aligned in love and virtue. I'd still contend that you might know limits to your bliss. Have you ever been so enlightened that you told a loved one "I am blissfully happy and there's nothing I can do about it." This is the experience of unconditional love expressed without restraint. Realizing it generally requires us to see the divinity in All That Is. As to calling that rightness God, again the name is just a metaphor. You can align without creating a term.
It's such a shame that we can't communicate our hearts as clearly as we feel them. So many barriers would fall away if we could.
