Millions of people come home safe every night. Hundreds of thousand of planes land every day without the slightest problem. Most children are born healthy. The sun comes up every day without an exception. There is always enough air for everybody.
Millions live by much higher economic standards than ever experienced by their forefathers.
Pain can be prevented on a much larger scale than was ever the case. International communication systems have brought us in touch with each other wherever we live and whatever the circumstances. Luxurious old age homes have replaced the tragedy of the elderly dying in the street. Clearly, marriage is still seen as sacred and helping each other as virtuous. True, the world is far from ideal, but it seems that we look at our globe like we look at a white paper with a black spot.
