The world is getting better quickly although the daily news continued to sell fear, uncertainty, and doubt. Humans are invariably motivated by their fears and those are the articles that gain the clicks that make the money flow and ads work on the internet.
You can inoculate your mind by reading these two great books:
Factfulness by Hans Rosling (and fam)
Abundance by Peter Diamandis and Stephen Kotler
Enjoy!
