I don't have to convince anyone here that this is a very often cruel and imperfect world, and I've yet to find a conventional religious answer that properly address the issue that I can rest with, except one. So why would a good god created such a world filled with suffering, viciousness, and cruelty? I think the Lurianic Kabbalah( Issac Luria's particular take on the Kabbalah) has a pretty solid answer for this, one that seems perfectly plausible. Basically evil and imperfection are systemic due to a flaw in the creation process itself and as a result it's remains a world in need of repair. It's very complex and takes a while to grapple with some of these ideas, I certainly couldn't do justice to them but here is a good article which I believe presents it very astutely. Definitely worth the read and ponder.
