Where's the "good" news?

Have you ever noticed how little “good” news we are exposed to? Ever wondered why?

I seem to vaguely remember when I was little that sometimes there were positive stories on the news. Based on what I’ve seen, heard and read in the news in the last couple of decades, one would start to think that there is nothing but drama, misery and disaster in the world.

Does this view of the world we live in really make things better? Is nobody interested in anything positive?

Unfortunately, the media tells what sells and our society has delivered the message that it thrives more on the drama and misery of others...the gore. I’d argue that most “reality shows” are popular for the same reason – have you ever noticed that there is always someone controversial? Someone who creates the “drama”? The same goes for the tabloids.

I’ve decided to no longer watch, read or hear the news. Not because I’m not interested in what is going on in the world, the contrary actually. Nor am I sticking my head in the sand. It may be idealistic, but I believe that in addition to the drama, there are also tons of good things happening. I know that when I am in good spirits, positive, and happy that I have the same effect on people around me. Frowns become smiles.

We have created the media we watch, read and hear. WE have created the programming, because what sells is what is provided. Ever thought about what would happen if we stopped buying the publications of drama, misery and disaster?

For those of you who are familiar with “The Secret” and/or the “Law of Attraction”, you should also appreciate what an impact this would have... Don’t be against war, be for peace.

I say reward those who share the good, not those who make money off the backs of those who suffer...

Life is what you make it. Enjoy it and share goodness with those around you. You will be amazed how your environment transforms from negativity to vibrating with great energy.

I’m curious as to what your thoughts are. Until next time,
