lit that will make me grow up from the mindset that: everybody's evil, the worlds a chaotic tragic place and we're incapable of the discipline to fix it?

The fundamental problem is that you're trying to understand and make a mental map of "the world".
That's a futile endeavor that will always leave you confused and frustrated.
Take a more active approach. Create the world.

What do you even mean? I believe we (or I) can't. I believe even if we accomplished it it wouldn't last long enough to be worth it. But I don't think I understand what you mean. rec me a book.

stop caring and see that plenty of people in the past whined like you currently and yet the world is still bad. let things go the way they go and do not whine about people not doing what you want want them to do

I already know that. But 'stop caring' is not growing up. I think there's a perspective where you don't believe these things to be true and you have to be wise to see life through this perspective. thats why i want to be recommended a book that shows me.

It seems like you're asking for religious lit. Ask your nearest priest, unironically.
If that seems too old fashioned for you, try something like "Enlightenment Now" by Steven Pinker. Although IMO that's just lower quality religion.
