Exactly. Every era has bad things going on in the background, but the difference between previous eras and now is that the algorithms on big tech social networks have fed people all the negativity to the point where they become impossibly pessimistic over it. Even the people who aren't on big tech social still get their information. and from sources that benefit from people being cynical and pessimistic.
There are so many beautiful things going on in our world today, but unfortunately, they get overshadowed by people who feel the need to constantly look for the bad and complain about how "cooked" we are.
One can be both observant of the things that need changing while also recognizing that we can't change everything in one lifetime. Instead, we should be appreciating the good things we have in our lives for now. In the meantime, we should be raising our future generations to take care of any issues that we're not able to take care of in our own lifetimes. That's the cyclical nature of societal improvement. We do whatever we can to fix the issues in our time, but then we raise our children to take on as many issues as they can in their own lifetimes, and then they repeat the process for their children... and then their children repeat the process for their own children.
