It’s easy to notice problems because they’re often the loudest stories in the news and on social media. Yet every day there are also stories of kindness, generosity, courage, and hope.
Do you think we spend enough time celebrating the good things happening around us? Why or why not?
No. We don’t spend enough time celebrating the good things that happen in the world. Good news doesn’t sell in the news as easily as bad news or scandalous news.
I think it would benefit us all if we focused more on the good things that happen, whether in our local communities or on a global scale. There is so much good, but it so often gets crowded out by the sad, tragic, and hate-filled news stories.
My son has a Yoto player which has a podcast for kids and once a week they do a segment called “Happy Headlines.” It’s so uplifting and I love listening to it too! More of this would be great!
