Sad news. What´s the world coming to? (Loong)

What I really hate is that there was absolutely nothing I could have done to change one single fact of it; and that I will never, ever get the chance to. Most likely no-one else in the world could have either. Every now and again a horror like this happens somewhere in the world, and all I can do is read, listen and feel angry, upset, depressed - and wish with every fibre of my being that it hadn't happened. I live miles and miles from where this happened. God have sweet mercy on the people who live there, especially the families and the friends, because I don't think they'll be able to give themselves one scrap of it.

But don't you think it's good to know the world around you is not all peace and happiness ? I know the news we normally hear is sickening, but it's a reminder to look after your own loved ones. we happen to live in a shitty world, if the press wouldn't inform us what's going on, we might forget that not everyone is friendly out there.[/QUOTE]I'd think that forgetting the prevalent hate of the human world and letting go of pessismistic cynicism would be a good thing. But that's just me.
