Is it really important that you know? When you watch the news and read the papers and you feel awful. Can any of that stuff be actually helpful to you? If you stopped reading the papers and watching the news, do you think that your life would go downhill? Are you even able to imagine doing such a thing? Is being 'informed' all it's cracked up to be? The press would have you believe so, but more and more people are realising that their lives are not improved by the press, but rather diminished instead.
A news amnesty was my starting point. 18 months with no television news, no newspapers, and after the initial shock and lack of filler conversation, I realised how little it had impacted my life. More explicitly, how little it had positively impacted my life. There's a lot of stuff that happens that really has very little to do with me, it's not that I don't care, but really I can't do much to change it. I'm sure the newspapers want to bring you stories which sell papers, and when they can't find local news that is shocking enough, they trawl the rest of the world for the very worst that is happening. I can understand why, they are just trying to maximise their profits, and if people didn't buy papers, then they'd have to give them away, oh hang on.......
The UK press, caters to the demands of its readers. If we didn't read it, they wouldn't print it. OK, but we're reaching a critical mass, and anywhere bad things happen frequently, it is reported out of proportion to what's really going on. London newspapers are full to the brim of terrible stories of rape and murder and abuse, even though the majority of the capital has had a wonderful day. It's disproportionate, and gives you the impression things are worse than they actually are.
Bad news sells, there's no doubt about it. We just seem to love the drama of it all. But this drama does come at a price; it makes us feel lousy. People often forget that life is all about feeling better. Everything that we want is for no other reason than we think we'll feel better when we get it. Whether it be money, relationships, fame, love, it's all about feeling better. Which begs the question; why would you do anything that made you feel worse? Granted, you're always going to encounter things that you don't like in life, such is the variety and such is your personal preference. But why would anyone deliberately focus their attention on something that made them feel worse, given a choice?
So this collection of Happy News Stories will be a small but sure voice in a million naysayers, but that voice will grow stronger as people start to see the benefits. Happy News Stories for all. In fact, if you want to contribute an article to the site, something you feel would be in keeping with the site ethos, email mrhappy@happyhappyhappynews.com with your ideas.
I swiftly came to the conclusion that, despite what the papers would have you believe, there is literally no reason to worry about anything, ever. Life just does not and cannot jump up and bite you on the arse for no reason. It just doesn't work that way. More and more people are coming to the realisation that the better they feel, the better life goes for them. It kind of makes sense if you think about it. Your emotions exist to guide you in the right direction; If you feel good, your thoughts are on the right track. If you feel bad, no problem, just find a way to feel a little better about your situation, and then you're back on track. Nice to know!
Everything is always working you for you, just relax, feel good and let life give you everything you want. Just take a moment to consider the well being of this magnificent planet we live on; food grows year after year, the sun rises every day, the water supply replenishes itself, the air regenerates itself, we have an abundance everything that we have identified that we need. We have never run out of anything that we want. The planet is a resource-full, incredibly stable platform for us to live and create upon.
Do anything and everything you can to feel good. And if you must watch the news, make it happy news
