We are better off than we have ever been.
Nothing is perfect. In this life, nothing ever will be perfect. Joblessness is a problem. Our economy needs a lot of improvement. We don't have enough freedom to make our own choices. And violence -- while on a very long downward trend -- still takes too many lives and causes too much pain.
But we have more wealth than ever before. Less violence than ever before. Longer lives than ever before. More knowledge than ever before. And more freedom than we've had in any of our lifetimes.
Try to change what's bad ... but don't believe that things aren't great. They are.

"It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt."
