Where To Find Good News · 9:14pm Oct 8th, 2018
A lot of news is bad news. That's just how society works.
Bad News gets people talking, people thinking, our minds need activity.
But too much bad news can have the opposite affect. When the news we hear becomes a slough of never-ending political corruption or celebrity disgrace or environmental disaster or just general sullenness, we reach our limit.
We become paralysed, convince ourselves we are powerless and just enter a state of apathy, a sense of 'Oh what's the point of trying to help? It never changes anything'. This problem is a particular issue for young people growing up in the world, people most at risk from substance abuse, mental breakdown and suicide.
Therefore, I'm of the opinion that good news is just as important and while keeping the bad in mind, we need to always see the way to hope and a better future. Humanity needs something to work towards not run away from.
Here's one I just found. It's been going since 1997.
