I think this vision usually comes to be when people aren't aware of how much worse other people have it, or how much worse was in the past.

Sure nowdays there are a lot of terrible things happening, but we have the best tools ever to fix them.

The world needs a bit more of optimism, the only way we can start fixing our problems is acting like we can.

How do you know how bad many of the people have it here? Also, in general, I reject the premise of your comment.

Just because people may be suffering more elsewhere, doesn't mean we don't have a right to be frustrated by our current systems. This is especially true in a society that allows absurdities like billionaires to exist.
