i have all those things except mental health and.. piousness? I'm 5'10 with shoes on so I'm borderline manlet but I'm okay with it.
And yes, what we are is a matter of luck. We aren't even responsible for the good or bad things we do, things just happen, we don't control fate.

What you're asking is really just a form of one of the oldest questions in religion: the problem of evil. There are so many attempts at answering your question that it's an entire branch of theology known as theodicy.

God isn't cruel. It's the Devil inserting these materialistic things to be perceived as "above all" that is cruel and evil.
Notice in Japan they are less materialistic. This is because they are homogeneous and it's easier for them to "feel as one"(as we all are in the end, we are God experiencing the limits of mankind)
So no, God isn't to blame here, it's multiculturalism and the effect media has on society.
