A simple metaphor: it takes a considerable amount of time to grow a forest, but a few short hours to burn it down--- and one lit match. Yet, human beings and civilizations continue to thrive.
As we look around the planet, human life for MOST humans radically has improved over the last 200 years, thanks largely to science. We are, if anything, a too successful species, directly contradicting the nay-sayers, from Malthus on--- the guys, you know, who have preached "End Days!" forever.
Love, empathy, kindness---- these are more basic human characteristics than any negative ones.
