Things have never been wonderful in the world (at least, not after "civilization" was invented) but things just seem awful. We have intolerance, discrimination, prejudice, hate... For some reason, I have this awful feeling that humans are only going to last for a few more centuries. I don't know. Maybe I'm over-exaggerating and being paranoid. Perhaps I've reached a new point of awareness, where all of a sudden I see all the end-of-the-world movies and horrible things that go on in the shadows.

How long do you think the human race will last?

Evolution would never allow us to die out. We would adapt with the ever changing world. As such we would basically survive forever unless the sun suddenly decided to go super nova on us before we got to space. But our sun still has a few billion more years to live out it's life so we'll basically have a long time to live. We must also look at the fact that pressure fuels development. With increased pressure the chance of us creating new technology to help us survive increases. I can foresee a colony on Mars by 2100 and by 2250 we'll have most of the solar system. 2400 and we'll be sending missions to other solar systems. This will thus ensure the survival of our species though by then we may be very different from what we are now.
