There are days…

We don’t have cable television and rely on Netflix for our entertainment or online programming. I do try to keep up with current events via online newspapers and such. There are days when I wonder why I even bother. It really seems like it would be better for my outlook on people and life to not be aware of some events in this world. Yesterday I looked through the CNN website and couldn’t find a single positive news headline. Is it because we only care about travesty and disasters? I have to think that there are people out there that are also looking for something to inspire them. My thoughts stray to wondering if there aren’t more positive news reports because the news simply reflects the state of our world? I have to believe that not everything occurring in this world is centered around hurting, stealing from, killing, and disfiguring people. This isn’t to suggest that I want to live in a bubble and pretend this stuff isn’t happening but I would like to believe there is some natural balance taking place in the world. What I mean is that there is indeed good occurring that is keeping all this evil in check.
