I follow the news daily and it seems that over the past few years the headlines have been getting scarier and scarier. It seems like the only news is bad news or idiotic celebrity gossip, all over the world. At first I thought the fault was with US coverage of world news, so I started following the news sources from other countries and found more of the same thing. War, hatred, religious fanaticism, environment, Tom Cruise. No good news anywhere. Everything seems to be getting worse with no end in sight. At the same time, a sober look at world history will reveal that there were times much worse than this. My question is this: Are things really that bad or is it the coverage and the interpretation of the news that makes us think that the world is spinning out of control?
If you don't feel like writing an essay on this, just give me some good news. Tell me about something good that happened to you.
