I see chaos all around. But maybe that is what I choose to see.
Can I add value to the world by being here? I’m not sure. I add unpopular perspectives and give others a chance to clash and argue a little more than they have been doing?
Then, where are the good things happening? The news channels will not report those, for sure.
But something turns inside me as I learn something new, help someone or am just overwhelmed by the love a pet can shower me with.
It feels like another step towards light.
It feels like a better version stepping outside the shell of my older self.
If only people stopped listening to and responding to the venom being spread by vested interests, and by those who have nothing better to share — Good things will start happening all around.
Love the positivity.

Well said. Try to ignore social media, get on with your neighbours, and help them when you can.

This was a very lovely post, Reena that relates the simple idea that if we stop hating, we can find peace. Taking another step towards light is the way we can make this world better, but we may have to wait a bit longer to see the good things happening.

What a wonderful post, Reena. People seem to flock to negative news, rather than positive news.

It can be quite overwhelming and disheartening when we look at the world at large. In fact it’s downright frightening. But I find doing what I can to change the circle around me gives me hope that I can make a difference. If each of us positively influences our small part of the world that’s when change is possible. Take heart Reena. There’s hope. 🤗

You are so right. Bad news sells while good news has little commercial value.

YouTube and social media only have opinion shops peddling their versions of truth, and millions fall for it. Algorithms show them what they are interested in, and they think if so many ppl are saying it, it must be true.

You’re very right. People believe what social media is repeating.

Reena, you’re looking for the good in the right places. Not in the headlines. In that moment when you learn something new. When you help someone. When a pet loves you without question.
That’s where the good lives. That’s real. 💙
Love
Khadija ❤️😇
