It's true and it's not. I care deeply about what happens in the world, but I also try to see the positive changes in the world as well. If I only ever looked at the bad parts I'd probably be dead, or so cynical that I would be the loneliest number.

I think the news headlines should read more like " Jimmy got an A on his science test for the first time", " Mystery gardener installs planter boxes as love offering to San Fancisco" . You get the idea, maybe more of a balance instead of 50 horrible stories with one fluff piece at the end. It might be a good place to start. The last example is actually a real headline.
