I don’t disagree, as I said I am often a cynical and fatalistic person as I have gotten older.
This is why I respect old people who seem to still manage to be stay optimistic and trusting of people in the world. I don’t think that’s “natural”, I think it’s an effort that these people put into seeing the world as a potentially good place.

Oh, the world is an absolutely amazing place. It's just a shame that only a handful of humans really seem to notice and / or care. The rest either take it for granted or want to strip-mine it for profit at any cost. :(
