Media is biased. Only those newsworthy/publicity-worthy things get publicized. Hence, when we watch TV, read the paper it drives us to despair.
There are millions of stories of people working silently, working positive changes in the world, stories of courage, strenght, love and faithfulness.
Don't lose heart. All is not lost yet.
I second wot Bungi said. We see what is shown to us, we need to realise and explore that there is lot's more happening out there!!!
