There are problems in the world, there always have been, and there always will be. I share your subjective impression that there are more problems now than there used to be, but that's a fallacy: it just means that we're paying closer attention now than when we were younger. The above paragraph isn't intended to assure you that all problems are trivial or can be safely ignored. Just because we survived the Cold War doesn't mean that whatever upcoming international conflicts face us will end as benignly as that one did. As they say "Past Performance Is No Guarantee of Future Results." However, the important message is that you can live your life despite the ongoing problems in the world. You can appreciate the time with your family, a good meal, a beautiful sunset. You owe it to yourself to enjoy those things, and not take the burden of the entire world on yourself. It requires confidence to believe that you'll face future challenges when they come, not before. It requires some discipline to compartmentalize your immediate, day-to-day existence away from what we read about in the news or on Twitter, but I think it's worthwhile. Meditation may help. Talking about your feelings may help.
