Why do you think that human life has ever been some other way? Do you think that the tribal people of wherever/whenever didn't shape the thoughts of their children and prepare them for the tedious humdrum of whatever their lives, by necessity..caste..or class, would be? That things were...somehow, less set in stone then, than now, and the world was filled with more opportunity for those people than it is for people today?
I don't personally think that our lives are more comfortable and more empty today, no. If you do, though, I'd suggest trading some comfort for some meaning..if that's how things work? If that's not possible for you, today, imagine how much more difficult it would be to trade comfort for meaning if you had much less comfort to trade in the first place.
