humanity does love to lie to itself...and whatever doesn't kill you, should make you stronger...
people spend too much time dwelling on the negative natures of our condition, reveling in their hate, anger and frustration, as dm pointed out, there are bigger issues in the world, than hypocrits and disgruntled patrons.

So don't ignore it, and don't try to live with it.

than what are people supposed to do to deal with it?
go to the cops and report crimes, call child protective services if you know of a child being abused, keep acurate descriptions of the perpetrators of crimes you see and take it all to your city hall and see that something is done, donate money and goods to people who don't have what you do...there's a lot that can be done by people to keep them grounded in the realities of our world without succumbing to the nastiness of it, human ingenuity is an amazing trait for suriviving potential horror.
if you're in a country that isn't so...industrialized, then what else can you do but deny it or accept is as a fact of life and do what you can to surivive it...helping those who are perhaps a bit challenged to surivive on their own?
bad things happen, you can either sit and complain or take steps to see they don't impact your life as drastically as they can, content in doing nothing but complaining to others about things they already know, are able to just move beyond...sustained happiness is near impossible to achieve, but if a human works at it, they can find a comfortable contentment, keeping their family safe, healthy and near their heart even when the world is exploding around them and seem to be all alone.
it's not lying about the harsh reality, but adjusting your life to flex with whatever the world can throw at you.
soldiers do it everyday; around the world...surviving makes us human, embracing the better side of our natures, keep us above the rest of the beasts and the pomposity to exasperate the weakness of humans, show how animal we can be..
