Do you think this world is more bad than good?

Most of the world is poor, and in first world countries there is still a lonely epidemic, bad relationships, and it seems like people don't care about meaningful things, only the superficial.
I don't think the world is more bad than good. I think it's for many people an excuse to throw up their hands and say, What's the use?

[quote]In 2013, fewer than 800 million people lived on less than $1.90 a day. That's less than 11 percent of the global population. As recently as 1990, about 35 percent of all people lived in such extreme poverty. That means about 1.1 billion people rose out of extreme poverty.Oct 2, 2016[/quote]

No, it's not perfect, but it's getting better. The truth is, most people who have access to a computer can't even conceive of true poverty. We have little or no experience with it.

Most of the progress in poor countries has happened in Asia, specifically the Chinese, where filthy dirty world-killing industrialization has lifted about 600,000 out of dire poverty. We need to do it better, but we need to do it.

If a person opens their eyes and their hearts, almost everybody can find at least as many reasons to be content as to feel cheated.

More bad. Way, way more bad.

I believe the world has become too "hi-tech" and the younger generations are growing up in a world of being more online than rather in real life.

No-one cares that over population is killing earths natural environment and its inhabitants.

I've never been in another time period or country to really know, but I think now we're focusing more on emotional well being than physical cos a lot of advancements in technology have helped increase standard of livelihood across the globe

Yes.. it has been going the wrong way for very long, and it is time for world to change its path. The world needs a demonetization now, as people are addicted to money which is a pseudo-drug.

Depends on your markers? the majority poorer people are happier and healthier whilst the wealthier minority are richer and more miserable!

Unfortunately the bad outweighs the good. Fortunately I believe in a future restoration to all good and no evil.
