Is doom mongering helpful or not ?

Post Reply New Topic

It does tire, upsets and frustrate me where even now in August there are still people out there spouting doom and gloom in the news and the media about the virus despite the success of the vaccines here in the UK and in a number of other countries globally with over 2 billion people now vaccinated. There seems to be always focused on the bad news rather than the good news.

I have quit watching the news ages ago as all it does is to make me stressed, and half of it is not news at all but people oppinions.

I think that their could be a lot of truth in the "doom mongering". There is aLOT more bad news these days than their used to be. Continuing to practice the Ostrich Effect of burring our heads in the sand pretending that the bad news is all fake or that things would just suddenly get better if we do nothing is only contributing to prolonging the bad & make the bad even worse. We can NOT correct the bad or any problems as long as we are in denial that they exist. That said the trend of blaming & attacking everyone who does not agree with you is getting us nowhere. I'm NOT talking about you chris, your kewl, I mean you in the general sense. It seems most people are super divided these days & both sides are too busy fighting with each other in order to start working together & correct the problems & turn the bad into good.
