If you stopped watching the news, and listening to?

I watch the news every day, and pray for the people who are exploited by the news for their suffering. I read the paper and pray for they people who are doing good things, and for the people who are down and out. If you ignore it all yea you'll be happier, but the people who are suffering need our prayers, even though we don't know them, we're on this earth to help others, not wrap ourselves in a bubble and wish all the bad away. Good comes equally with bad....do something about it.

There IS intelligent life out there!!!!

I quit reading the papers and watching the news. I don't watch any of the "current affairs" programs; and turn the boob-tube off the minute any political messages are transmitted.

Life is SWEET.

If I hear of something (like yesterday's quake in Los Angeles), I can do a quick search online and get the facts (from USGS etc.). So I'm not ignorant of what's going on in the world. I just don't need the constant droning newscasters with their tales of doom and gloom every day of my life. There are people in this world that thrive on misery. Let them have it.

I'm so happy -- to know I'm not alone in the world for having this way of life.

Thanks for showing me I'm not alone.

i'm uninterested in turning on the information, and its some instructor having sexual kinfolk with a student, or slightly one being abducted, or the "conflict on terror" the subject is, anybody else feels the comparable way, its in basic terms you need to keep imformed so as which you keep on top of issues so while something diverse does arise, you are able to comprehend approximately it. like the spinach, unlike i consume spinach alot, yet while i didnt pay interest to the information, I wouldnt comprehend that persons have died from in spite of risky substance it is interior the applications, theory I even have long gone a pair of month devoid of listening to the information or something, then human beings initiate speaking approximately it, and you're totaly clueless, its a topice you recognize not something approximately and you're skipped over of the verbal substitute for the main section. we desire the information, i'd in basic terms advise, in the event that they might take concepts, that they clean out all of the junk. I dont desire the words sexual harrasment, or rape, ringing with the aid of my abode for my little sister to take heed to, and it occurs so quickly you dont even have time to mute or something. My relatives incredibly watches the information all of the time. in case you have been to tutor on the television, its on Fox information approximately ninety 5% of the time. base line is, we cant stay devoid of the information, yet what we can stay devoid of is going into such element approximately lots of the matters. not each little thing desires to be suggested.

Yeah. But I guess there is no reason to turn our backs to the truth. We can't offer aid, help, pray for, things we don't know exist.

Just think of it--There will be no bad news in Heaven. Why? Because nothing bad will happen.

My life is much happier. I haven't watched the news for years. I don't miss the negativity at all.

I have been doing that for years...... and yes , I am much happier on a daily bases...... My husband informs me of the really newsie stuff, or world issues, but other than that, I really just stick and stay in my own little world where Jesus, God and I are just fine....... go in peace..... God bless

I only get my news only from sources that actually report the news instead of sensationalizing and actually report things of interest to me.

And for ****'s sake, American Idol and Miley Cyrus do not need to be on the front page of the newspaper!

Well , all that bad stuff is reality. We are in the end times, and all this 'bad stuff' is to be expected, it's all been prophecied in the bible. As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the end. We sure are getting there, things are falling right in place! One day, we will be in a very peaceful place, no more sadness, tears or sin :)

yes, it would be. I believe the mind and spirit takes a beating from all the negative , violent , not to mention half truths we hear, see ,and read that's called news everyday.

Although it is generally good to remain informed about the world around you, it is a good idea to cut back. We definitely do not need all of the extra tidbits of information, such as celebrity gossip.
