I've seen many things that may be "normal" or "ugly" to you, normalized as it is... but have you considered how magnificent it is that your society has created structures which seem to touch the sky? Vehicles which harness the raw power of lightning, transforming it at the press of a button or flip of a switch into electricity which powers not just the lights within each room, but all which makes your life easier? Ingenuity in its purest form -- humanity has a lot of ugliness to it, yes, and it reflects that into the world -- is beautiful in its own way, and each piece refracts unto a depth yet unseen.

Would that I could see all the "colors" that make up that world, how the sun reflects in ways that go beyond "bright". Why don't you consider how lucky you are that you're able to see that?
