I wish to provide a more philosophical answer....

For a brief moment, man rejoiced when the creation of fire was discovered. This was quickly followed by lament. "Future generations are doomed! No one knows how to put it out!"

It's easy to despair that future generations face huge challenges. But it's important to remember mankind needs challenges. Without them we will never know who we are. It's also why overcoming challenges always inadvertently creates new ones. The plight of mankind keeps improving as time marches on, but adversity will always remain. It's a necessary part of being human.
