this is a great and complicated question with no easy answers, but is definitely worth asking and thinking of some possible solutions, or at least getting people to think of ways to improve their lives and others- I've pondered over this same question several times myself. Can life be better for myself, and others around me?? How?? WHY can't it be better than this? From an eagel's eyes glance, it would seem as though us humans have the potential to make life beautiful, great, and worth living for EVERY person and that indeed, the way that most modern societies are designed, the ultimate goal that all people work towards is to make life as enjoyable as possible, for everyone, which is an incredible end result if you think about it...the working world is incredibly diversified so that every person no matter their skill level and capabiliy has a place so to speak in the world of contributing back to the community as a whole. think about how many ways you benefit, and are able to live as an end result of the work of others- from the place you live, to the food that's prepared and ready for you at the supermarket or restaurant , to the over-the-counter medication you buy that's the result of scientists coming up with treatments to illnesses...so as a whole system, you can argue that modern society has done a pretty good job at meeting people's health and other survival needs.
But what about our emotional and psychological wellbeing? While the modern society we live in meets many of our needs, does it also damage us to some extent in that by promoting competition in a capitalistic environment, we create success and accomplishment that benefits soceity as a whole in many ways, but may also divide us from each other and brings out a more selfish- self-seeking side in us? ANd while many people do find fufillment in the work they do, the communists are quick to point out that a large majority of us struggle to survive in work that is not that meaningful due to capitalistic competion that strips us of our humanity to a large degree...I can see how that is, but the truth is that I think capitalism is the best system that's out there in helping society as a whole.
BEsides meeting our survival needs, we as humans have the intrinsic desire to connect with each other and feel part of a community- and so, I think we need to somehow foster a sense of common humanity at the very basic levels...Freud would argue that you can't snuff out the intrinsic sense of selfishness-and even evil that exists in all of us, but I think that by teaching compassion, morality from a young age does impact how one treats others. I think religion, spirituality is jist a valid a thing to emphasize than the other ideals we strive to teach in our schools that would make a huge difference in the long run and make people happier as a whole.

If everyone could just be kind to others and smile every once in a while. If everyone could just take a step back and not get worked up over the trivial things in life! If everyone could love and be loved!

yes,we can make this world a beautiful place to live.we should understand each others feeling,needs and try to fulfil them.when we do the best for others desire even it is very small.even this desire is of a human, animal, birds or nature.
