It would seem to me that someone with a balanced view would not be bothered by the contrast between a good meditation and what he or she finds in the world. It appears as if you are using the mask of compassion and/or teaching others to satisfy your own feelings in this regard; i.e. that focusing on the happy stuff is important, and focusing on doom and gloom is not desirable. I am not questioning your motive to perhaps make others feel better, though your intention seems more aimed at your own well being (to resolve the contrast between your meditation and what you find in the world) than that of others.
