I have got to quit looking at the news.
Yeah, a person needs to be informed, locally, globally. You cant ignore what goes on around you but I feel myself wince when I open up the news in the morning. There is no doubt headlines are spun to shock and disturb, its what sells. The reality is, sometimes what is going on is shocking enough without the leading headline.
After glancing over the doom,despair suffering and continuous acts of greed, cruelty and apathy. I feel rotten. A person can lose hope and faith in humanity and take the approach that its every person for themselves. Its in the news isn't it. Who can you trust, what can you believe in, it seems pointless.
Finding good news that is inspiring is definitely more challenging but its worth looking for. If you cant balance out the bad news of the day with some good, you need to look around you for some, if that doesn't work there is nothing like an act of kindness to offset that hopeless feeling.
