Try not to disavow the negative aspects of the self. If you place suffering as a result of something outside of yourself, it will never make sense. Suffering is the result of complacency, selfishness, lack of motivation, self-indulgence etc...all aspects that prefer attending to the self rather than the other. These are all conscious decisions that have to do with the individual, nothing is being approved.
Things could change but it requires a little bit of work and some motivation. The majority haven't made the choice, so the tension between negative and positive continues. In the past, domination was responsible for a lot of suffering, but in the modern age we've become too involved with ourselves yet we like to place our problems outside of us and point at them.
