Ignorance is bliss.
Imagine there was a planet, not too far from ours, that was inhabited by humans that didn't age, never got ill, never did harm towards others, we satisfied with their lives, and lived in harmony with one another -- wanting for nothing. I'm sure comparing that to our "First World" would lead any intellectually honest person to conclude we're living in a hellscape -- something so horrid it would be sardonic to even call it "Third World."
Good thing that doesn't exist; otherwise, we'd be facing a whole new type of existential dread.
