So rather than panic and despair, you actually have every reason to believe that things may continue to improve, with more diseases becoming things of the past, and even less poverty and hunger in the world. Sure, the environment needs our attention, but even here, the rates of pollution are down drastically from what they were just a few decades ago. If you look at the rates of violence, famine and poverty, they’re each at all-time lows, while life expectancy, overall wealth and happiness levels are at all-time highs. But the reality is, we occupy a period in time that’s better than any other. Think things are bad today? If you get all your information from the daily news, you just might think we’re living in the worst times ever.
