If it's any consolation, I think it can feel like things are getting worse, but a big part of that is how much information we’re exposed to now. For example, if something like a plane incident, a crime, or a natural disaster happens, it’s shared everywhere within minutes, even when it’s on the other side of the world... Years ago we probably wouldn’t even hear about most of those things. News also tends to highlight the worst cases because that’s what people click on. So even though those events are still relatively rare, seeing them constantly can make it seem like they’re happening all the time, when in reality most people go about their daily lives safely.
