Diana wants to make the world a better place. She goes out and attempts to, and considering she's immortal it's entirely possible she'd see it. Plus if you look at human attitudes and behaviors over the millenia the world does seem to be
Comic book hope is the last desperate chance hope. Sending your only child in an untested ship as your world dies, knowing you'll never know his fate.
It's waging a war against human nature, like Batman's war on crime because even though he can't stop it he'll do everything in his power to lessen.
It's the grand futile gesture succeeding agains all odds, not get up go to work at a shit job to save money so you've got less problems tomorrow.
