about the world and my life

[katriona_s]

As one of the honest & respectable cirizens we all should follow (or, at least try to follow) the major news of the world and think about them. But recently it's more difficult than before to do it. Not only because there are too many important incidents in the world but also because most of them are too horrible, intolerably unreasonable and unfair. It's very difficult to keep the composure when I see those news from Gaza (to me, it was already enough with the news from Ukraine before Oct.), so, I confess that I have almost given up following the news recently. I don't want to join the exchange of the ugly slander and hate on internet, but I found I can't escape from the dark thought about the various tragedies, the unfairness and misery. Thus I rather try to focus just on my personal life, tribial good things in my life. Still I tend to feel gloomy. It's quite a pity because now in the early winter the climate is not much severe here, this world is (at least around me) so full of nice things, I have just a littele serious problems in my life at the moment so I should feel happy and enjoy the life every day... :(

It is hard to ignore what is going on around us...but the flow of news is so aggressive that I began drowning in it. So I cut off watching TV two years ago and only watch it if I find a program I like - no news. I listen to a good radio all day long - there is everything I need to know. And then there is always the internet...

You are so clever. I think listening to the radio is better than watching the TV news. Un fortunately at the moment I rely on the newspaper and internet to check the news. But when I'd retire my job, I'll try the radio...
