Why did God create this hostile world? If God is perfect, why did He create imperfection?

It's easy to look at the world today and ask 'if God is good, why has He created this horrible mess?' If God is perfect, why has He created this painfully imperfect world, with its opposition to all that is good, and its urge to corrupt and destroy? If God is Love, why all this hatred?
