While the parent comment is getting downvotes, probably due to the somewhat accusatory form, the facts behind it are universally true: our civilization is improving. If you took several metrics and weighted them by people's concern, you would see a positive trend [1]. Any "good news" is a statement of the fact, and should be a duh moment to everybody.
Granted, we need the "bad news" too, as certain things still need fixing. However living with a negative impression of the world is living in denial.
