I don't mean better for you or me but better in general. Do you believe our species will ever reach some form of enlightenment or will we destroy ourselves?

Yup. You look through history and FAR worse shit has happened in the past, even the recent past. The present though is what everyone has to deal with and that is your burden to bear best you can. Like you said, you see this sort of thing go in waves.

I know this sounds like a pat on the head but you also have to count your blessings in life and not just obsess over the things that are wrong with it or you'll always be miserable and never able to find any happiness. To say "everything is shit" is as unrealistic as saying "everything is wonderful".
