There is an idea that God does not will for anything bad to happen to anyone, but that any problems or pain we experience is caused by our (or someone else's) bad choices. I guess if you consider the source of 'bad choices' to be 'original sin' then I would agree; but in a more practical, day-to-day kind of way I would have to disagree.
Certainly there are lifestyle choices (e.g. drug use) or character traits (e.g. dishonesty) or heart conditions (e.g. jealousy) that tend to lead to painful consequences. Yet there are also tragedies and hardships that befall people
I believe God is more concerned with our spiritual development and the purification of our hearts
