I don't think anyone sets out to do it, but the biggest news stories tend to be sensationalistic, lurid and graphic -- the whole "if it bleeds, it leads" mentality means horrible activities are always going to be highly visible, while acts of kindness and generosity are buried somewhere in the back, if they're lucky enough to get time (or space) at all.<br /><br />I think if you watch or read too much news, it becomes easy to forget that most people are kind and good. Society couldn't exist, couldn't function as well as it does, without a preponderance of such people.Soozcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12549632685008663664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34821333.post-35749154491767594122013-12-10T13:32:28.871-08:002013-12-10T13:32:28.871-08:00Your post made me cry as well.

I was very touched by all you shared, what a heart breaking experience, losing your father in that way and at that time in your life.<br /><br />I agree, that the majority of people do want to do good and help in what ways they can. It's just not always obvious in today's world.<br /><br />*hugs*<br />-RachelRachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14292724684544079120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34821333.post-53294077110920030172013-12-07T12:34:04.044-08:002013-12-07T12:34:04.044-08:00They deserve better.
