I really think this is where you are getting hung up. I don't really think it makes to think in terms of good or bad. In fact weren't we warned about how a knowledge of good and evil makes the world seem like a confusing and dangerous place?
Seriously though, everyone has the right to pursue the types of experiences they desire. Everyone can choose the type of entertainment that they desire. They can choose to support a government that maintains certain games and illusions if they like those particular games and illusions. That doesn't mean that you can try to bring attention to these things or steer life in a certain direction. Just don't let it become something that has to be fixed in order for you to feel at ease?
You have the right to feel good. You aren't hiding with your head in the sand. You are learning and trying to do the things that most make sense to you. You've taken responsibility for yourself and your life. That's all that can be expected of someone. Anything above and beyond that is your choice. Do what you can, if you want, but know that you don't have to bear the burdens of every person in the world.
