It's not something that you can really affect or change on a macro scale. Instead of worrying about something that you can't control, you should focus on the things that matter to you and are within your means.
Depends on your own personal situation and your aims in life. Also, I don't think an individual can really 'love' a person, because it is an unattainable ideal, it is metaphysical. You can have affection for another person, but love is something that is more conceptual, it doesn't take place in reality.
