I have my own theory as to why there exists evil in a world that is supposed to be a perfect creation by a God who is all loving and good.
Wouldn't this mean that God created evil also.
I suggest this.
If you create something from nothing, the nothing wants to snap back and take the something away.
For every action there is an equal an opposite reaction is a law of physics.
I will suggest that for Creation, there is an opposite reaction, though I would not say that is has the footing of Gods creation.
This suggests to me that when God created the world from nothing, that nothing wants to collapse back on the creation. Maybe it creates a sort of spiritual and mystical vacuum of sorts.
So therefore, we must deal with the evil that is trying to destoy the creation and make the nothingness exist once again.
I can not contend with the idea that God wanted us to have evil in our lives. I can not theorize that God had created this world with a plan that we all live without knowledge of good and evil and sin. I must think that the idea that Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge means that God created this world knowing that that event would happen.
I do not go around thinking that we are all evil from birth such as the christian theory.
But I will adapt to the idea that there is evil in this world.
True you can cry and give up hope and stop praying to your God due to the fact that the world is not a "perfect place".
Or else you can pray to God, and try to bring perfection to the world.
This seems like the most intelligent alternative.
To rid the world of evil, one can follow Gods laws, give to his community, offer charity, procreate if possible, create goodness and do the work of creation in his life.
Thus the evil that came from nothingness gets scattered and does not threaten your happiness, health and being any longer.
So if there is a world to come and it is not a physical world, there can be no evil. Thus if you believe in a world to come or the heaven that we predict, there is a way that we will eventually live in a universe free of limitations and provokations.
I can rest well with this in mind.

I will also believe that our God has all power to make certain that his will and his plans always work out. If someone dies in their youth, I will ascribe that God was aware of this and allowed it to happen as it was part of his overall plan to make the Creation as he wants it to be. I am not saying that misfortune or troubles are meant to be for the good of the world, but perhaps the Creator has a good idea of how to stifle evil and make it less and less and continued to be scattered.
So we say Baruch Dayan HaEmes and believe that our God is blessed no matter how we feel about the world events or loss of life.
Baruch Dayan HaEmes.
Blessed is the Judge of All.
