I do not watch television any more, not since my Mother died in 2002. I agree wholeheartedly the 'news' is but bait to rile up the infirm and haters in this world, with no regard to facts or to make an effort to 'fix' the wrongs, but I am on my computer daily and it's hard not to see the horrors. I am an animal rights activist and have been for years so I am inundated with horror stories on that front also. As the Emmylou Harris song goes, "But one thing they don't tell you about the blues ~ When you got em, You keep on falling cause there ain't no bottom. There ain't no end." I wish I could believe that this too shall pass and it's going to be o.k. (I'm not even sure I even remember what o.k. is), but I try starting my day, every day, taking care of my duties to my animals and to myself and try to keep looking ahead and not to the past and the atrocities of the future ~ BUT it's oh so hard. I truly do appreciate your taking your time to think of me and wish you the best too.
