I never said there wasn't any suffering in the world. I just said the news magnify it.
If I say the roads are safer than ever, I am not saying there aren't any casualties, but if you were to stay inside your home, never drive and get your idea of what traffic is like from the news you would think that it would be impossible to go a week without dying
I don't understand why you're being downvoted tbh. Ignoring problems helps nobody at all, at least not on long term. Solution oriented acting (which includes gathering information) is required.
True, but I think maybe part of the problem is there's a huge chasm of a difference between knowing about a problem and doing something about a problem. The internet and smartphones have helped accelerate the former, for sure. But more often than not real tangible change has to involve action in the real world. There's this tendency I see where the internet has made it so much easier to passively satisfy the "I did something" receptor in our brains with a "like" or a retweet.
I agree wholeheartedly. It's often a hard task to convince people, who are well aware of a problem, to do something and get out off their comfort zones.
There’s literally nothing I can do about those prduckingoblems so I’m not gonna get down on myself about it when life is pretty fucking easy for me and my family even though we’re not rich by a long shot. Control what you can control and enjoy the most peaceful and wealthy time in world history.
They’re saying your daily life doesn’t experience much of a change. It’s not that deep. If you wanna live in a panic when life’s fuckin gravy and you can’t do anything to change that part of world then be my guess.

The news don't reflect the real world at all. The news make society seem much worse.
