Ask Alex : Fed Up With The World

Hey Alex!

The state of the world has really got me down. Everywhere I look it’s constant negativity. I feel like everything is in complete chaos and it’s only going to get worse. I’m tired of the stupidity. I’m tired of the meanness. I’m just tired. I don’t think anything can be done, I just wanted to get your take.

Sincerely,

Fed Up With The World

 

Hey Fed Up With The World!

Aren’t we all. I think as a population in general we are all over it. I know I am. It is disheartening to be constantly bombarded with all the negativity, but unfortunately that negativity is very real and as good as an individual might be, I think we all have played a part in the decline.

People are attracted to the chaos and that is evident in what gets reported on all our news. We hear of the latest murder, the latest greed at the gas pumps, the latest gossip, and we are to blame for what we hear. If it wasn’t what drove the ratings, the media would not bring it to you as a top story.

Unless there is a cultural change in what we perceive as important, I’m with you, we will continue to see a steady decline through division and chaos.

This doesn’t mean that the negativity has to rule your world though. You have no control over what goes on outside of your control. So focus on what you can change to make yourself feel better and what you can change to bring back good in your community.

Learn a new skill, sharpen up on an old hobby, talk with friends, volunteer, do what you can to change how you feel and remember that good begets further good. 

You can’t change the world but you can change your world and how you perceive things.

Sincerely,

Alex
