There's always a bit of us lost whenever we learn something. We are not as pure as we were when little. I suppose that is the tradeoff for knowing things. People say ignorance is bliss and they're right. Still, if I had to choose between the two I'd always go with knowing. I will enjoy suffering in my pursuit of knowledge.
Look at it this way: In nature every thing that exists serves a purpose. Humans are not spared from this great rule (whether we like it or not; our big brains and heavy hearts cannot save us). To go against it is to go against nature. Now I'm not telling you to give up. We must all simply accept what we have been thrown into and make something out of it.
Like my uncle always says. There's two kinds of people in this world: Those that complain and do nothing, and those that complain and do something.
Which one will you be?
Another way to phrase it could be "are you part of the problem or the solution?"
This statement always makes me think twice when I feel down and want to complain about something.
