About HHHNews

By Andrew Goodman

Do you really need to know? I mean all of those stories which you read and watch which make you sick to your stomach. Are they benefiting your life at all? Have you ever thought that not watching the news or not reading the papers might be a bit like letting go of the steering wheel of a moving car? That your life might career off into a ditch if you weren't so 'informed'? It's a valid question, and one that deserves an answer. Of course, you and only you know whether you can live without the information that we are bombarded with every day.

For me this all started with a decision to stop reading the news and watching the TV news bulletins. In an effort to inform, the news agencies dredge up all of the bad stuff that happens all over the region (and maybe the world if there isn't enough bad news in the local area) dramatise it, and broadcast it into your living room. It just isn't a fair reflection of the reality of the situation, but grossly exaggerated to the negative. After a short while I realised that I was doing far better living in my bubble, than being informed about what was happening in say, the Middle East. I was only aware the US elections were on when someone told me at work. But I was happier for it.

The press will write what its readers want to read. The majority are well and truly ensconced in the reality of the now, believing that they might be victims to the many bad things out there, so they want to know what they're up against and then try to avoid these things. Unfortunately, such a life philosophy will never work as intended. Because if you give your attention to something you are asking for it. You cannot resist things that you don't want and push them away. It never works.

I know, some people want to read bad news. They just seem to get stuck in the drama of the situation. But it does take its toll; we feel worse, vulnerable, sad, or upset. Many forget the reason we are here at all. Life is supposed to be fun. And everything you want is because you think you will feel better in the having of it. Be it money, relationships, lovers, fame, success, it's all to feel better. So you might ask 'Why would anyone do anything that made them feel worse?' It's understandable that living in a world of such contrast we'd never be away from things that we didn't like, but do we have to go looking for trouble?

And that's where we, and also where you come in. Happy News Stories. That is what this website is about. If you want to read the news, read the news that makes you feel good, here's the place to come. We'll be referencing happy stories from other news sites and writing some of our own. (If you would like to contribute, email mrhappy@happyhappyhappynews.com). If it's not good-feeling, it shouldn't be on here.

Use your emotions in the way that they were intended. Feel good, and know that your life in on the right track; heading towards something that is going to feel good when you get there.

There is no such thing as an unhappy journey to a happy destination. Unhappy journey means unhappy destination, happy journey means happy destination. Feel good by giving your attention to things that make you feel good, and watch how much better your life goes as a result.

Do anything and everything you can to feel good. And if you must watch the news, make it happy news
