If we look at the television,internet or listen to the radio, what we see or hear are tragedies, chaos, riots, wars, uprisings, rallies, killings, increase in prices and the like. Mostly, it is the negative things happening around us is given much attention. This is the reality but this is quite depressing.... To avoid getting carried away by the problems happening around the globe, I just sometimes turn off my TV or change channel and watch more lively and entertaining shows.

When looking at the world todays, it sound like its end is closest to us.The bible foretells all mankind about one thing SIN. hungry,conflits, war, poverty, and so on are signs that something is comming very soon.The fact is there is no sufficient love in the world. When I read the bible and see what GOD is talking there I thing that there is a problem and a solution to solve these happenings in the world. The problem is SIN that kills people around the world so if we want to change the World I mean all humans must repent and recieve the lord jesus christ because we can not change that situation only GOD in heaven can do that. So please HAVE A LOOK IN YOUR BIBLE YOU WILL FIND THE SOLUTION THERE!!!!!!!!

As you sey,there are to many negative things in world today,likely there are a trend that people become more and more worse.The negative thing likely have a ability to overstep the level of past time.For example,decay officers bribe-taking more much money than before.why do our life is becoming worse?Taoist classics' ideal world is small country whith few people,and people who live nearby nener exchange.I think,if world develop in this way the negative things would be smaller and smaller.

It's been slowly getting worse day after day. It's true there have always been these kinds of things and the news always seems to pick up on them. There are very rarely happy things on the news, it just seems to be the way things work. I hope everything gets better but so far it just seems to be getting worse.

When I lived in Finland the news wasn't ever bad and it comprised a cabinet member doing a visit to somewhere interesting. We left our bikes by the side of the motorway and they were still there when we got back. We could leave the front door open and we wouldn't be a burglar. In my home country at that time Margret Thatcher was the prime minister. Twenty years later here is my home country and in other similar countries there can be lots of very bad news on the television, radio and Internet. Maybe Singapore is the safest country in the world. I hate it when a natural disaster happens like an earthquake, a volcano or a hurricane. It is awful when a war is going on and people are getting killed. It is sad that there is so much crime happening. I think to see the news every day would be depressing. Sometimes I pick up on a news story mentioned on My Lot like the earthquake in Christchurch in New Zealand. I don't listen or watch the news every day. I buy a local weekly newspaper and not a daily one that has world news.

It really isn't anything new. We have always had murders, wars, economic problems. But with the growth of the internet and communications technology news travels much faster so we find out about much more of it. Regarding the recent spate of rebellions and revolutions across the world, I think it's like a domino effect. People have been unhappy with their leaders for years, and once the first country overthrew their government, everyone else thought "Oh, we could do that too!"
