Joy, Love, Sadness and Hate.

Goldfinch60



In this world we hear so much news,

So much bad news.

All the ills in our world is all we hear,

All we hear on the news,

As it is the bad things in life

Are all the news brings to us.

But I believe there is good in our world,

Many people help each other,

Give pleasantness to so many people.

Just saying thank you to somebody,

Or even smiling at them

Brings much joy to so many,

But we do not here about it.

I have a belief that in our world

Ninety nine percent of people are good

And bring joy and love to so many,

But all we here about

Is the one percent,

The one percent that are bad,

And bring sadness and hate to so few.

    Will they see the smiles, or will they be on their mobile phones?! Doh!

    • Goldfinch60

      They will probably be on their mobile 'phones Orchi.

      This is why I do not watch the news anymore. The imbalance is such that it warps the minds of those watching leaving the impression that all is bad. Well stated Andy.

      • Goldfinch60

        Thank you soren, yes we do not watch the news very often now as we know there is good in this world.

            I wouldn't mind reading about 99% of good things myself. Beautiful. 🌹

              Wow, what a good point. Where's the good news? The only things reported are negative and worrisome. They should put on a positive news show, where they report on the good things in life. 🙂

              • Goldfinch60

                That would be a good idea Tom, maybe one day it will happen, I do hope so. Thank you.

                Have to agree with you Andy. My father used to say the same thing that all he ever hears on the news is how someone was murdered or about the ongoing wars. It was so hard for him to cheer up in his last years of life. Our world is too focused on the negativity and not enough for the positive things in life.

                  Thank you AP.

                  A baby or a young child laughing is one of the most wonderful things to hear.

                  Dear Andy, with sadness only bad news sells newspapers and gets the media excited. The good stuff is out there, we just don’t get to hear about it. Have a good weekend.

                  • Goldfinch60

                    Thank you Cassie, yes so true, maybe one day the good news will be reported.

                    I hope you have a good weekend as well.

                      I do need the news to find out what my government is not doing on my behalf, as for the rest ....the choices are stark - reach for the Valium , the whisky or whatever, ignore, or become amused at the stupidity of the human condition and laugh....
                      A needed write, Andy.

                      • Goldfinch60

                        Thank you Dave, so true.
                        As you know mine is a Laphroaig. Cheers!

                          Could do with some right now - a one litre bottle would just be the right size...................!

                          ....I would reimburse you for the postage (only) of course.....
