why is everthing in the news allways so negative, and shows about death or dying?

It's further proof we focus on the negative rather than the positive! They should highlight stories where people sacrifice themselves to save others rather the stories where people take other peoples lives for no apparent reason! Of these two events which compells you more the heroic or the tragic?

Because people aren't as affected by good news.
The only good things we want to hear about is how to make money, get that body we've always wanted and come up with the patent of the best sex ever.

And now, today in the news:
A man helps a little old lady cross the road.
Or
A man pushes a little old lady in front of a bus while she attempted to cross the road.
Which makes a better story?

The subject of death intrigues most people because we were born to live, not die.

well if we always heard about how the sky is blue, the grass is green and all that's pretty in the world like the rainbows and flowers would stay forever... we'd be lying to ourselves now would'nt we?
