A WORLD WE DARE TO IMAGINE
There are so many beautiful aspects to life and the world we live in. So many great people out there and so many of those great people doing great things. One thing I would like to see in our world as we see it is those people being celebrated more than they do. Every time you turn on the news you are hearing about some tragedy here, one murder there, etc. I wish people would be celebrated for the good they do in this world more than all the negative things circulated. On the other side of it, there is an ugly part of our society that I see and that is selfishness. Especially living here in Southern California and Los Angeles specifically, self gratification and materialistic things are so celebrated in our culture. Now there is nothing wring with having some nice things but I just wish that people would think more about others than they thought about themselves. Life is so short and its not always about what kind of car you drive or how much money you made, but its about how much of a positive impact are you making on peoples lives? Our society has the potential to be great, we just have to be willing to tap in.

Great post! You are so right about the news and media, they all just talk about the bad things in life. If they were to talk about successes and the good people have done instead, others would have a different view on how to live their lives. I guess the next question is, how can we get the media to talk more about these things?
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with your point about media. I have learned over the years how censored and bias our media is. It not merely prevent people from being aware but also generates more negativity than positivity. If we could change the negative media coverage one receives in a day to receiving equal amounts of positive and negative news, individuals would have a different views on each other and the world.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more, especially with the points you made about the media. They tend to focus on all the bad going on in the world, but forget to acknowledge all the good. Because the media has the eyes of millions of viewers, they could be enforcing positivity as oppose to spreading the negativity.
