Is it normal that the world is always messed up?

I know we had ww2, ww1, nasty terrible wars and civil issues, but has everyone who ever lived experienced the same stress or worse than we have today?

People are becoming openly passionate about certain topics but they keep it black/white. Issues keep popping up, from feminism to gun rights to everything. I try to stay in the middle to try to solve these issues, but of course the sensible person is ignored.

I feel sorry for the average white male, the individual constantly cussed about even though he never owned slaves, is only doing what he can to survive the rat race, as anyone should do, but is brought down by double standards.

We're tipping the political scales too quickly and we're only given the bottom of the candidate bag.

Nobody knows when to shut up but there are more people to have to shut up because that's what giving rights is all about- to try to make them shut up but they keep wanting more. (Not true equality rights like MLK stuff, more like 'I have the right to marry my goat' kind of stuff)

Everyone just wants to be hateful to something but they don't need to be so loud about it.

Important issues, like worldwide hunger, child labor, assisting third world countries, human trafficking in glossed over countries are replaced with our petty conversations about how WE'RE the slaves to the system.

Can't we all just get along, or has the world always been screwed? Is it better to mask outside problems with a happy face or to redirect our passion to petty issues? Am I experiencing more stress than it's worth?

    You can't change humanity. The people with the most simplistic word view are usually the ones with the loudest voice. The dumber an opinion, the more people can understand it.
    All you can do is "Be the change that you wish to see in the world.", as Gandhi put it.
    Every moment of your life you can deside to not be a selfish and narrow minded jerk.
    You won't save the world, and you might not change it at all. But at least you'll have tryed and at least you didn't make it worse.

    The world is always a good place for us, the elite 1%. That said, we depend on an educated, and healthy 99% to assist with wealth creation so that we can get a disproportionate benefit. Crime, drugs, disease, poor education cost all of us more than you would think.

    The world has always been a mess.

    On the bright side, our period of history is now the most peaceful it has been ever in the history of ever.
