Pros: Love and food.
Cons: A lot more things.
So we can easily conclude that the pros outweigh the cons.

But clearly, you've got no understanding at all about how life really is. If you just watch the news, sure, life sucks. But if you actually go out there, and experience it, you'll find that there is just as many amazing, truly epic experiences to be had ...
Seriously - You want people to stop assuming you're a 17 year old "depressed" emo, then stop acting like one.
Did I also mention there is bacon? If everything was bad and there was just one good thing, bacon, life would still be amazing.
maybe you watch 2 much tv/news.
if you engage around your environment (go out and smell fresh air), you will find it much less darker.
Bacon.

Good thing you weren't born around a time period like the early 1900's.
@OP: If it depresses you so much, stop watching the news. Because good news doesn't sell anywhere near as wel as bad news, reports always focus on everything that goes wrong -anywhere- in the world, and even then, only the 'exciting' news.
Bomb goes off in Boston that barely kills a handfull of people? OMFG WORLD NEWS FOR DAYS!
Hundreds of people dying from starvation every week? Small add on the back of the newspaper asking for a contribution.
Campaign that set up dozens of wells/irrigation to combat that starvation finishes succesfully? No one cares.
Start focusing on the good things in life and you'll notice that there's actually quite a bit more of that to go around...
