I think it is a good decision not to watch the news because the media actually choose to share the negatives way more than the positives and when we do hear an inspiring story it is so unliftng and encouraging. There are plenty of heartwarming stories happening every day but the media prefers drama and sensation and if an event is not dramatic enugh they manipluate the facts until they've grabbed the listener or readers attention. We really don't need that on a daily basis.
I'm doing well thanks...... ...keeping very busy but enjoying life immensely. Stay well and take care.
The shock value of a story is what matters. Since they have gone this direction it takes more and more to actually shock people so they go for even more shocking stories and wording of the stories. It's a downward spiral.
