The news doesn't report everything... only what is sensationalist enough to keep people's attention and garner ratings. Although it seems as though the world is filled with constant atrocities, the fact of the matter is that acts of kindness and justice far outnumber the acts of injustice and nastiness you see on CNN and your local news stations.
How many people who survive car accidents are reported? How many samaritans' donations documented? How many children saved from starvation? How many conflicts averted by the local police, or concerned neighbors? How many pets saved from abusive owners? Trust me, they are out there in droves, and if they at least got equal time on TV, you'd know that this world isn't nearly as bad as the news services would have you believe.
