It's only as hard as you make it and it's no harder then 20 years ago. You have no reason to feel a need to be justified by people you don't know or will ever have any personal gain from.

It sounds selfish, but you're on this rock for you. Not for them. Learn to appreciate you for what you do, then worry about others if time permits.
