What if we all just put down the morning paper and forgot the evening news. Things that would get us down. Could we not have a good effect on the world. It takes some thought but today I woke up and wanted to do something selfless or am I just being idealistic?

This is my favourite quote and I think it applies to so many different situations.
Good luck!

Just do it! If you wake up and want to do something selfless, then do it. Who cares if somebody thinks it is just idealistic. If you do something good, it will make the world a better place and this is all that counts.

I don't watch the news or read the paper. It is depressing. Instead of focusing on the sadness and ugliness of life we have to focus on the joy & the beauty. Spend time in nature. Walk in the woods. Or sit by the water. Watch the sun rise or set. The world is a good place if you're looking in the right direction. Love the world. Love yourself & let your happiness radiate out & affect those around you. If everyone loved themselves they would be happier & more kind to others. There wouldn't be violence & crime. It would be a peaceful harmonious world. Unfortunately many people hate themselves, they turn their rage outward & try to destroy others. It is the motivation behind 99% of crime. Happy people don't become criminals.

Well, there is a benefit of watching the news. It lets you know how crazy the world has become/is becoming, what to watch out for, and how to keep your kids safe from the serial killers, child molesters, rapists, etc.
I agree, life would be much enjoyable without knowing these things. It'd be even better if they weren't happening. But, they do, unfortunately, and it's good to know what to look out for these days when you step out of your home.

be good to others
and find your happiness
your world is just as important
as anything else
its not selfish to make yourself happy
then you can be a blessing to other people too
don't think your world is not important
i personally think the news is propaganda
