The environment? F***ed.
The economy? F***ed.
Overpopulation? F***ed.
World politics? F***ed.
On top of that, we don't/didn't have our parents generation and their parents generations achieving great goals that left us in awe. We're not going to the moon, instead we scrapped the shuttle program. We're not expanding positively anymore. Everything society seems to do has a negative spin.
The only advancements we see, technological ones, are immediately lambasted as negative. "Your generation spends all its time in front of the tv/video games/internet/phone" or "social media melts your brain". Instead of celebrating the fact that we can access all the worlds information at a click of the button, or connect with people that we normally would lose contact with, our parents and their parents make it sound like it's a bad thing.
We live in the best time that humans have ever experienced on this planet yet all we hear is negative, negative and negative.
Now that rant was way off topic but that's why I'm pessimistic. That's why it's hard to look to the future with any sort of excitement.
I know, woe is me.
