Ocean of Gloom

I wonder: how positive can we be in the world we are living in? Negativity has always existed but...the past is past, and what interests us here is the present situation. You read or listen to the news and find that they are 99% about 'bad' stuff. There is so much verbal, physical, emotional abuse at all levels. TV movies are mostly about killing, aggression, blood. Reality shows, that seem so well liked by many, revolve about bickering, offending and blaming each other. Most commercials concern disease, medicine, food that harms your health and makes you gain weight, expensive 'systems' to make you lose that weight... Good news and good programs exist, but the majority show otherwise. To live serenely enough, you must learn how to navigate through this ocean of gloom, and try to avoid being reached by its waves.
