There is an abundance of news in broad subjects that we can separate into a positive group for each. If we narrow the range, then, I feel, the gathering of good news loses weight.
A healthy balance, IMHO, requires that the bad news not be so obese that it pulls down our effort to nurture our lives with positive information.
On day 255 of 2025, the negatives are overwhelming. How do we adjust life for better balance?
Faith.
If you have faith, be it with a religion, mindfulness or meditation, having a place to go to comfort your soul might be what you need.
Your words are wonderful, and you shared a beautiful Fall photo to go along with such words. : )

I never thought of news being obese. But that's a perfect description!
ReplyDeleteJeanie,
DeleteReading the news sometimes leaves me feeling like I ate a box of donuts, over stuffed with awful information.

Well said May. I find the current news is every bit as overwhelming as it was during the aftermath of 9/11. At the beginning we were glued to our tvs and then we reached the saturation point and had to walk away and now I'm finding myself in the same state over current affairs. There's only so much a mind can handle.
ReplyDeleteMaryann,
DeleteWatching videos, I hear lots of folks saying the same thing, stepping away from so much news for their well being, It does a heart good to not be alone.
I pray leaders will take heed. I know one that won’t, has no clue the damage he does. Prayer.

When reading the headlines in the am and only online, i find myself looking for those "good news" stories which unfortunately are outnumbered by the not-so-good ones.
ReplyDeleteBeatrice,
DeleteThe section for the lighter side of news is goid to read. Reading BBC news adds distance to make news more tolerable.
