In spite of our best efforts, bad things exist. Nature, as much as I love it, is trying to kill us. So are some people.
Entropy, disease, and politics surround us. The first two are simply the way the Universe is; the third is a bad choice. All three lead to death and destruction if left to run their course.
It takes millions of dedicated people to keep these destructive forces from doing all the damage they would otherwise do. Part of being human is doing what you can to reduce the impact of things which are bad for humans.
Things break down, There are more ways for something to go wrong than there are to keep going right. Paint weathers and houses need to be painted again. We have repairmen and maintenance workers fighting around-the-clock to stall entropy. It's one of the most useful things anyone can do.
Doctors, medical researchers, and those in sanitation also fight against disease and the effects of aging, which are types of entropy which involve our bodies. Without people dedicated to keeping us healthy, our lives would be shorter and sicker. You can't bathe once as a baby and expect this to last the rest of your life. You have to keep doing it. Health has to be maintained.
Not enough people are working to dismantle politics. Unfortunately, even most of those who know politics is a problem believe it's a problem which will be solved with more politics. When government is doing something wrong, they believe the answer is to switch out some politicians and bureaucrats and have them do something different. Usually the difference is still wrong, just in a slightly different way. This won't fix anything.
If my dishwasher stops working, I can't expect to repair it by pounding it with a hammer. It also won't fix the issue if I shove a USB drive in the water line. It's the wrong part for the job.
Politicians, government, and taxes are the wrong part for the job of keeping society functioning smoothly, too. Expecting anyone to fix things with politics is like treating the flu with rabies. Not only must they be shut down now, they must be shut down regularly. This destructive problem will keep cropping up in the minds of a certain type of person, to be spread like a cancer throughout the population. Bad things exist; we aren't obligated to sit and watch them destroy us.
