The best thing I have ever done was turn off the 24 hr news. I don't care whether you are a Foxnews person, CNN, MNBC, whatever. About time some get really into it they find themselves getting so upset with "the other side" mucking up the country. We can get so caught up that it do become depressing.
I don't want to ignore society's whoas, but man I get so wore down. We can debate sports all day long. Call the other dude's team qb a bum and no one gets their feelings hurt. It gets laughed off and on with our day. Call a certain party or politician a bum and those are fighting words. You would think someone was defending a family member.
Ohh I digress..... I'm steering this thread in a wrong direction.
But some positive news about a police department raising funds to support at risk youth by coaching, buying equipment, or chauffeuring them to practice and games. Now that is positive.
How about a church or a community group taking it upon themselves to grocery shop and maintain the yards for elderly widows.
Even better are a community of people with different political views coming together to talk it out and actually make a change in their communities. They start in their own backyards by watching each other's houses, getting to know each other as people and enjoying a game over some cold beverages. They then spread beyond their backyards into the neighborhoods by keeping their neighborhoods safe for all their kids. Then spread to their town by helping the homeless, supporting schools and youth programs, encouraging young men to stay in school, and taking the time to understand each other's concerns as it was their own. Not treating a person's problem as their problem but our problem. And this positive attitude spreads to the emergency workers who are held to an expected standard to treat all their citizens with respect, even in upholding the law. It spread to the citizens teaching their kids and students to respect our emergency workers who charge into danger so they can help people get out. Yup this is the positive news I want to hear day.
So "Hey Google, tell me something good".
