Thank you, all of you, for your responses.
i guess it is true that humanity has probably been considerably worse in much of past history than we are now. In some ways this is even more depressing, but, i am very glad to believe that society is not necessarily becoming worse and worse (though in some ways it surely is-- but overall probably not). So thanks. i'd like to comment on all the interesting & insightful posts but it'd take too long.
Many of you had really good points about how humanity has always been cruel and what not, and how society and the world are, overall, progressing. i must say also though that Snoozy and Bobby brought up some great points about how the opposite seems true-- that society seems to be getting worse. ..Just wanted to mention that.
There is still a lot of good in the world, and you helped remind me of that. The catch is, the "good" can't give up. Ah, i'm tired and not talking very coherently. But anyway, thank you all again.
