“At times the world can seem an unfriendly and
sinister place, but believe us when we say that there is much more good in it
than bad. All you have to do is look hard enough. And what might seem to be a
series of unfortunate events may, in fact, be the first steps of a journey.” ~
A Series of Unfortunate Events
Have you noticed that tons of people say they
hate watching the evening news because it shows everything wrong with the
world? They say that it is too depressing and they choose not to watch it, because
they experience horrible things in their own life and do not need the constant
negative news.
I can understand this response. So much of the
news that everyone is seeing is negative and shows the horrible things that are
happening in the world. The news prevents us from being blissfully ignorant to
the wretched happenings on our planet. It can be utterly depressing to see that
humanity really hasn’t changed much over the centuries with having bigotry
still prevalent, mass shootings, terrorist attacks, innocent deaths and so on.
History has not changed and can be depressing.

A Series of Unfortunate Events
People switch off the news before they show a
glimpse of humanity at the end. They will show how people are still fighting
for the hope of mankind. This small praise of good in humanity overshadows all
the negatives.
I know people complain about all the horrible
news that are spread, but aren’t we now aware of the injustice in the world?
Aren’t we now given the opportunity to fight for change?
And that is what is happening. There are so
many organizations that have now come to the forefront to fight against these
injustices. People are now feeling convicted to making a change in the world. People
are choosing to bring good into the world and creating hope.
I refuse to believe that there is no hope for
people. There is so much good happening, but it is done in this underground
movement type of way, which I think is perfect. Why, because the people that
are fighting aren’t demanding for praise or acknowledgement, but are simply
fighting because it is the right thing to do.
These series of unfortunate news and depressing
stories are the wake up call, the call to action to make the world a better
place. These events are the beginning of a journey to make the world a better
place and it is up to us whether we choose to listen to it or just stay
ignorant.
