The news is depressing.
When you watch the news and, on a daily basis, see car jackings, smash and grab robberies, shootings, scams, kidnappings and just general chaos, is it difficult to be positive about the future?

It can be. I know some of what is talked about in the news effects my life, but most of it is rage porn. A lot of networks now want ratings more than they care to inform, so they’ll report bad after bad after bad, etc because that keeps people watching. I look at the world around me, and bad things are happening, but there’s some good as well. And I purposely seek out news stories that report some good that’s happening in the world to balance things out so I’m not caught up in that mindset that the world is ending like I’d been years ago when I obsessively kept up with the news.
