Bad News


I have said for a long time that media outlets owe it to the overall health of this country to share all the news, both GOOD and unpleasant.  To me, it seems, too much of the focus is on war, death, politics and other ill behavior of humanity.  That is not the only side to humanity, there is so much MORE to report.  I do NOT advocate sticking our heads in the sand and ignoring reality, I am saying that here is MUCH MORE to reality to report than what is being shared by the media today.


Statistics show: Happy people spend significantly less time watching television and study the newspaper less often. The psychological explanation: Television and newspapers achieve their quotas mainly with disasters, murders and bad news and as a result focus their reporting mainly on these "bad news". Who abstains from these media, therefore overall has a more positive view of the world.


Television evidently gradually empties the body's memory of the feel-good hormone endorphin. So consciously try to reduce your media consumption - especially watching TV - to a minimum. You'll see, your happiness is going to benefit.

We can be the change we seek in this world, and in ourselves.  One day.  One journey.  One person.  One less news show at a time.
