Wondering

I wonder why there is so much strife in the world.   Has it always been there?  Do we just now see it because of TV, Twitter, Facebook, etc.?  I don't watch the news except for local stuff and even then sometimes take it with a grain of salt.  Certain stations are on my no watch list because they are so slanted toward opinion, not fact.  Same with some newspapers.    Sometimes, I believe, we are told too much.  Sometimes we are too much in the lives of public figures.
And I also wonder about those so-called "stars" of Hollywood who believe that their opinion matters more than us regular folk.  Or that they can get away with stuff we would be put in jail for.  They think so highly of themselves.  I wonder if they are secretly really people with low self-esteem who need to be idolized.
Guess I'm just an ostrich who wants to be left alone, believing that there is still good out there, somewhere.  Yes, I do see it now and then so I know it exists.  I just believe it needs to be made more public.  I wonder how many people would watch a "GOOD NEWS ONLY" station?  No, it wouldn't last because, for some reason, people want to see the bad stuff.  Bring the widow on the set....dirty laundry....and all that.
Sigh....y'all have a nice day.

I've been wondering the same thing lately. Seems as though the old saying about great minds thinking alike is true after all!
Wondering about iut, but I certainly have no answers.

Guess we'll just have to keep on wondering, HJ. Glad you stopped by.

I agree with you both. Seems like I did hear of an only good news station, but guess it didn't last long, 'cause I sure don't know where it is now.
Yes, there is still good around. Seems to me folks are smiling more lately. Maybe because I'm smiling at them first. Making an effort to do so - makes people what you've been up to ~
