Your suffering does not cleanse the world; do not suffer merely because you feel obligated to. Likewise, your enjoyment does not degrade anything; you are not failing in some Noble Cause by not wailing in sackcloth 24/7. Life has always been suffering, and the powerful have always rolled shit downhill. It's just more obvious now...and there are people to actually care. Belief in enlightenment values turned out to be shallower than we thought...but people still do believe.
