What has this world come to?! Bombings & wars, not to mention gender, class, racial, & ethnic strife. There is also political fighting. Your thoughts.
Apparently, the world has come to this: Negative emotions that are out of control. Self-mastery toward peace and higher ideals is apparently nil. Greed seems to be rampant. Self-righteousness seems to be rampant. Me-first ness seems to be rampant. Now, if this is not true, how would we know…? Its all we hear in the news and see on social media, etc!!!
What if we heard more good stuff in the news … we might have a different view of the world! Maybe even a more accurate view of the world! And if we heard more good stuff, we would be encouraged to have positivity and hope instead of negativity and discouragement.
Nevertheless, if I begin a thread calling for positive news, who would respond??? We are so addicted to negative, bad news and reacting to that and that alone, that I don't think many would respond.
Although the medium of destruction has changed over the course of the centuries, it's the same as it's always been. Human nature never changes. Just the medium does.
well, Simon Cowell did something positive: http://www.digitalspy.com/music/news/a8 … sten-here/
But of course, others will come on and explain what a miserable bloke he really is.
