Situation of an individual is a very short term view. We are living on credit here and while it seems, that the conditions have become better, we are utterly unprepared for the backlash, which will happen, if we continue down this path.

I am more looking at the long term effects here, because I care about future generations too.

Another problem with your view is, that you are totally disregarding other species on planet Earth, which are going extinct or become endangered species in this very moment, in which we enjoy that our "condition is better than ever".
