Realization I'm currently in hell

After so many years of a blanking haze, engaged in reading elaborately arranged inks printed on highly-processed trees ("books"), and so many other human-centric socio-psychological processes that are deficient in its balance to and connection with the environment or Nature (like Sadhguru's "Dirty Logic" poem suggests), my eyes have only recently and gradually opened to the truth of our reality (even before this covid pandemic, and this nightmarish 2020 year for many), and as I realize such an imbalanced, environmentally destructive and unsustainable human-built environment,
(what DGR group refers to as "industrial civilization") I straightforwardly perceive I'm in hell - a hell that I can and am getting out of though.*  With Light, I now (more) clearly see so many wrong, imbalanced, adharmic, ignorant behaviors that support and are supported by that misguided force (of this human-built environment) (that I also refer to in the blog below, Mumford's and South Park's references).

Yet sometimes, upon reflection, at a deeper level, why am I / are we existing in this undesirable situation?  What is the good side of this, that perhaps we are needing to learn something, or feel the pain for our soul or conscience to avoid getting into in the future?.. It may vary from person to person, may be dynamiComplicated/reflexive like "Heisenberg's uncertainty principle," so can't say too much here, but in a basic sense, it can be known from outside or within, and it seems like chanting the gayatri mantra is one way to know it from within.

*(not to make "light" of it, but) yes, that was 1 sentence... but what's the (meaning of) sentence!

July '22 update:
examples of (unsustainably) burning plants, crops, or cutting trees for biofuel in such a manner contributing to hellish conditions?
