Don't people get sick of watching the news? I mean its the same thing over and over again. Nothing ever changes. It just talks about how things are getting much worse in the world.
But they are right? I don't really think they are. People always want to stay stuck in the past. They talk about how things were much simpler "back then"
But how simple were they? When the flu could kill you or before anti-biotics. What if you faught the civil war and had to drink whiskey to get your leg cut off because of a slug?
Things weren't better "back then". They are getting better right now. Information travels so fast now. Things that took a lifetime to learn are only taking 4-5 years. You can learn multiple skills over a lifetime that you couldn't have even 15 years ago. Thats the greatest thing ever! Literally your skills will never be rendered obsolete because you can just keep learning new ones.
But you need to stay informed, right? Whats so informing about some kid who farted on a bus. How many times do you want to here about kids getting molested at church or abortion or how the dollars losing its value. If you're really interested in all this stuff and it bothers you go out and do something about it. Get active and prevent it from happening. Don't just watch the news for an hour every night and than act as if the world is getting worse.
Think about how hard life had to of been living in the 50's as a woman? Or an African American? That must've sucked big time. Having no rights just 50 years ago. They never even had a chance. Now look at all the opportunities people have?
There will always be hard times but they don't last, just like the good times. The one consistent thing in life is change, for good or for bad.
