RE: Life is Short! Remember to ENJOY it, and to be Grateful for What You Have!
The news media accentuates the negative.
People evidently do NOT read history
nor understand how good they have it.
I recall seasonal epidemics...hundreds died...EVERY YEAR.
(polio, diphtheria, encephaliltis, the list goes on)
That no longer happens..
Almost everyone has clean water, indoor plumbing, electricity, enough to eat, etc..
and yet they bitch.
CONSTANTLY
As we're both fond of saying: "if it bleeds, it leads."
Tragedy sells newspapers... well, at least it did, once upon a time.
Fear is the mindkiller... and the media excels at spreading it.
We've eliminated many virulent diseases.
So they "invent" new ones to worry about.
