If you want to find inner peace, you'll need to accept that your expectations for society were never realistic in the first place. Corporate media promotes feel-good optimism because there is a lot of money to be made in making people feel better for an hour or two. But unbridled optimism only sets you up for depression when reality sinks in. If you want to be happy, you need to either keep yourself blissfully ignorant (too late for that, you've already perceived too much), or you'll need to make peace with the shittyness of the world. Focus on improving whatever is in your power to improve, and don't dwell on that which you can't change.
