We Need More Positivity In This World
I am not sure if I'm the only one who notices this, but I feel that every day the media is getting fuller and fuller of depressing news and statistics. Especially here in Croatia. Most of our media only report on natural disasters, murders, politics, and other morbid stuff.
And I've been noticing this more in international versions too. Every article outlines something truly morbid.
Even though we do live in a time where it's hard to be positive because of all the negative stuff happening around us, I'm starting to understand how most people are not happy with their lives. It's not because they "haven't escaped the matrix" or "they work a 9-5". No. People just aren't getting enough positivity in their day. Even a simple hello and how are you can make someone's day.
And of course, news articles should also cover the morbid stuff. People need to know. But we need to outline happy stuff too. I feel that if we do outline more happy stuff people will in the end be a bit happier.
Think of our grandparents for example. They would be happy to hear that our generation is doing something good to help the world and not just sitting around on our phones.
I heard that the main thing with news portals is that the bad stuff gets more clicks, and the weird thing is that no one, for some reason, likes to click on the good news. I find this confusing. Either this is some made-up thing or we just really are stupid as people.
Now I've gone through some stuff in life that I'd rather not share, but I know that hearing something positive always helps me be more positive in the end.
We need more positivity in this world!!
