Ever been on a cruise?Fearless of death? Well. I wasn't always so. But 40 years gives you time to come to terms with reality.
Yes, thanks, I'm lucky. The spouse and I have a cruise planned in a few weeks. It won't keep death away, but time will be better spent than at work.
Some things are indeed getting better, but overall things are getting worse. It's only a matter of time when the failing character and deliberate ignorance of mankind will reap it's full reward.
Judging from your words, it appears you focus on the bad.I laud the good but focus on improvement.
But where YOU think we should be is upside down and backwards according to where someone else think we should be.True, but I measure progress by where we should be, not where we are. One would think that a mature society wouldn't indulge in the crap that we do.

That's reality.That's the problem.
When I was a kid, an old Christian woman told meI'm not alone. Watch the evening news
Nature expresses no morals
You can't have it both ways.
I knew another 'naturalist', who had utter disdain for humanity but was an ardent supporter of organizations that cared for animals.
Humans do.
Nature is not a moral agent.
Humans are.
Off course you can.
The universe and humans, aren't the same thing.
So? What does that have to do with us?
How do we know that?
That's reality.
When I was a kid, an old Christian woman told me
"One shot gun blast will make more noise than a thousand silent prayers. And unfortunately we live in a society where only noise makes the news!"
It was true then, and it is still true today
Moral agents are things that can behave in different ways with respect to moral questions. In the presence of an unattended $100 bill, some people will steal it and others won't.
In the presence of an unattended $100 bill, fire will burn it. Nature is not a moral agent.
