Poverty has halved since 50 years ago, there is no more plague, we are now more in touch with each other than ever before, multi-culturalism has triumphed, people now travel freely between opposed nations, nearly all countries in the world recognise the existence of human rights, we can now create new organs from scratch, the population is booming, and yes people are still dying (thank God! imagine what would happen if they didn't), in short you can't live forever and you can't live in a world without pain and suffering, they are a part of life just like a lion biting a bison's neck and dragging him to the floor while he wishes for mercy in his brain, but generally things are looking pretty good for us, compared to the rest of the apes what we have achieved is incredible.
