All you did was quote the same basic thing from someone else. Just because the heart has it's reasons, is still not an answer. You didn't define perfect. I would like to know why you think that God has to be good? Or even why you feel you have to assign human traits to the creator of all that exists? Good/bad, just/unjust, cruel/kind...we are talking about God...everything that exists, He created, including our questions about Him. Granted it's all we have for description, but I find it rather arrogant to try and define God, or describe His actions with our human terms. Since we have been created, people have been having these discussions, all to no avail. God is God, what He does , or appears to do here on earth, is a result of how he designed us and the matter we are made of. We have natural disasters because of the way the earth is designed, we have wars and death because of the way we are designed. It has nothing to do with His love or hate for us, it's the way He wanted it. There is good, and there is bad, be thankful for the way He made you. We do not have to know Him, be one with Him, bask in His glory and love. He gave us the gift of life, and this universe, that should be enough to satisfy anyone, why do you need to know how He works, or why He does what He does?
