When on my way to work this morning I was listening to the news as I usually do. There was a report in very graphic detail of children being slaughtered in the war between Hamas and Israel.
I couldn't take 10 seconds of it. I turned it off and played music instead. I'm aware of the ugliness in the world and I want to stay informed but only to a point.
For the most part it is an awful world, that I do agree. I just don't need to be reminded about it except in small doses.
I guess I should feel lucky that I was able to enjoy a nice walk this evening, free of violence, and nice weather on top of that! For my own mental health I need to focus on more of that and to try and stay positive. That has been a real challenge for me especially in recent years. Sadly, so many have it much worse. I guess I should try and tone down the complaining and enjoy what I have.
The video is sweet and uplifting, so don't be afraid, John13. Listening to the news too much can give you a distorted idea of what the world is like. There's a lot of kindness in the world, too, but it never makes the evening news. Thanks for sharing, Dude111.
Looks like it was done in Europe. It is very inspiring.. You don't have to play guitar, sing, or play a "bucket drum", but start with one person, and you'll inspire many others in the immediate vicinity, then who knows what might happen..
After watching the tread, I've got tears streaming down my face. Tears of joy. What a wonderful, uplifting video! I was deeply moved by it and will share it with lots of friends.

I'll watch it when I get home.
Sorry, Dude111.
Leave it to me to think and assume the worst. I was too focused on the "awful world" and lack of love part in which I agree.
