Bad news sells...

By Vichara

Bad news sells, good news sits waiting on the bus. Perhaps by watching all the negative news that it some how lessons the severity of our own personal problems but I think not. It’s what the media want you to believe but I do believe there is an alternative. While yes human tragedy and human depravity will always exist it is up to each of us to try to tip the seesaw of negative news by contributing one good act a day. There are many people out there that are doing this as you read this but most will go unnoticed. It is no fault of their own just our cultural indulgence of the negative. How about when you encounter or involved in a “good” thing that you spread the news and like that old commercial they will two friends and they will tell two friends and on and on. The tide can turn away from most of the negative; one voice at a time…spread the news.
