We must not focus on the things that are wrong--
"oh, if people only loved better."
"If only people would just do what God said."
Don't let such bitterness and discontent take root and grow in your heart. Don't let the problems become your concluding paragraph, so to speak; don't let them be your focus.
Instead: Focus on the good or the ideal. In your life, live out the good. Live out love and obedience (to continue with the above quotes), for example. Do it with God's help and grace which He has in abundance.
Don't be a cynical critic of others or problems; "be the change you wish to see in the world," as Gandhi stated. This will both do more good and be more healthy (joyous) for you.
