People who watch the news too much
might come to many conclusions. The first of these conclusions is
that every single person in the world is messed in some way and the
world is a rather messed up place. The media does nothing to really
reign in these little bits and pieces. Why would they? There is more
eyeballs drawn to tragedy than people who would pay attention to
hope.
There's No News Like Bad News
This truth is the saddest one of them
all. The world is messed up, because we as a people are kind of
messed up in many ways. It may sound cynical but when you think about
it, it is really not false. Just turn onto the news and chances are,
one of the first stories will be one of the following.
1) The latest
crime of the day will be displayed.
2) The latest
natural disaster will be talked about.
3) Some company
went out of business.
4) The government
did something stupid that caused a lot of people to be upset.
Those are far from
the only four items. Human beings are drawn to bad news, like moths
to a flame. It is just a part of us, where we are unable to look
away.
People moan about
how there is too much bad news in the world. Do we do anything about
it? Well, the world can be a harsh place for many reasons. So we just
got to sit back and either dial back on the news watching and
reading.
People who obsess
over the news and get stressed about it, really have no one to blame
but themselves. The economy is in the toilet, prices of everything
has gone up, and everyone just seems to be at each others throats in
2012 in general. Not to mention there are more folks descend straight
to petty crime.
Scan the news a
little bit, because that task needs to be done to stay informed. Do
not really beat yourself up about how messed up the rest of the world
is.
