I'm one of those people that feels the world is NOT getting worse. That things balance out...for every horrible thing that happens a good thing happens as well. For instance, a large earthquake destroys a town and kills a bunch of people...BUT thanks to technology we can bring help to the survivors much faster saving more than we could before.
Or a disease (not something like ebola, but still bad) hits a town and lots of people die...BUT thanks to new medicines we can save people that would not normally have been saved.
What i'm saying is...I believe it balances out. For every rotten, horrible person there is another person out there doing good and helping others.
But sometimes...reading the news...even just glancing at it I start to get a little bummed out and wonder "maybe the world really is a terrible, awful place that's falling apart...."
I just don't buy that. I just have to remind myself that's what the news thrives on...the bad. They don't care about the good things happening because that doesn't make money.
What about you guys? Do you think the world is going all to hell?
