Why did God design it this way? I believe it is so we can be accountable as individuals to our own conscience as our personal guide and thereby develop a mature character and heart that is based on a personal quest for truth, righteousness and goodness.
Without this personalized journey for self-realization, and if everyone somehow acquired the exact same worldview and life philosophy, it would be quite easy to just mimic others rather than making that personal effort to seek the truth. It would also make the world much less dynamic and decrease the value we find in human interaction.
In today's world, it is especially important to recognize the importance of individuality and personal responsibility because there is a lack of good role models to try to mimic and so if you do start to rely too much on following someone else, you are likely to be guided in a bad direction.
Either way the path to true fulfillment is only found when you live a life of taking full responsibility for all your actions. It is a good exercise to always question myself and ask why I am doing what I am doing, rather than going the easy way of relying on what someone else said I should do. It is the easier way but it is most likely also the way that will cause you more long-term regrets.
