I think this type of thinking stems from inability to accept that bad things just happen, that everything may not be well in the end and that this world might not be a good place in general. So, being unable to accept reality, those people bend over backwards to "prove" that somehow, someway all that's happening is for the good. Even in the face of absolutely undeniable evil they rationalise it away as ultimately being good. It's actually quite impressive to what extent of mental gymnastics they are prepared to go in order to avoid seeing the actual truth about this world we live in.

Hate to break it to you, but no. What we currently witness happening around the world is pure evil. It may not be well in the end and not everything happens for the good. Unless humanity somehow gets its shit together, we are utterly fucked.
