I have learned to change what I can, and what you can do nothing about, I try to forget about. I know there is a lot of negativity, but imagine that you were also negative, then there is just one more negative person in the world. Just as negativity is contagious, positivity is too. You are right though, there is a lot of CRAP out there, Every time I think something can't shock me more, I fear something that shocks me even more than that. It is so easy to say to someone, just be positive and forget about your problems. I am not gonna lie, it is just like going to the gym, you need to work really hard, and you can't slack for a week, then expect the results that you want. Living positively is definitely the way to be. Sometimes we just have to turn the news off and focus on what is happening to us in our surroundings.
