It's not particularly edifying. It ranges from the horrifying (like the mother who attempted to kill her kids by poisoning them), to the simply not important (like a man combining a PS4 and an Xbox One into one console). I appreciate that some of these things are important to know about. We need to recognize what goes on in our world. But can't there be a little more emphasis on the good in the world? It seems that news today is almost always negative. Sometimes we hear about something wonderful happening, but usually not nearly as much.
I refuse to believe that it's because only bad stuff is happening. That does not make sense at all. I know that people are good in general. So, it only makes sense that it is because bad things are out of the ordinary. Doesn't that just make you look at the world so much more cheerfully? Sometimes it is much too easy to be sad about the world, or at the very least tired of dealing with the things that happen. It is much too easy to ignore all the wonderful things that happen.
To combat this, I intend to blog about something beautiful in the world at least once a week. It will change my own paradigm about the world, and hopefully yours as well. I think that's what this blog is really about, anyway.

ReplyDeleteYou are right Megan. There are so many stories of loving, selfless, heroic people in this world but they choose not to showcase or it is buried under the negativity. I also wish there were more articles and photograpy about this beautiful, wondrous world we live in. You are doing right in not getting bogged down in the bad news. Stay happy sweet girl.
