That is exactly what I mean, the way we attach "goodness" or "badness" to things depends entirely on our human point of view, though as we are all humans, we can come to consensus on many moral issues.
But I think it is a bit odd to say that human existence is bad, for example, just because we destroy the natural environment around us.
