Day 335 - 'one' sad state

in my make believe world, making a hat can make a difference

when people use a situation to destroy property and hurt others.  I have such a hard time imagining the type of individuals that created the riot in our beautiful downtown Vancouver.  I can't fathom even being down there watching the devastation take place, its heartbreaking.  Then you see what the news stations are reporting about how the Canuck fans did all this just because we lost a hockey game...
  I just want to shake the news reporters and ask them to tell both sides of the story.  But we all know that the stories that make the news are the worst ones and they spin them to get people to watch.

I really do find that watching the news makes me more upset every day.  Again, I know most of you think I live in a make believe world.  I want to believe that most of the people that wander this earth are GOOD people.  I want to believe that the largest populations in this world care about others and would help their fellow man.  But if I watch the news its make me believe otherwise.  I would like to be informed about what is going on but can't they spin the other side of humanity as well.  The good side.

I know there are people out there everyday helping homeless, addicts, sick people...I see this personally in my own life.  No, we don't hear about the wonderful dedication of nurses, doctors, receptionists, health care workers etc, etc...we hear about the travesty of our health care system, how it's not working.  I would love to see some sort of balance.  A balance of news stories that show the great sense of loyalty we have to this country, our Canadian spirit, our ability to gather as a group of people and celebrate without violence.  Do you think people will remember that over 100,000 fans gathered downtown and watched 2 other games without any riot's breaking out.  Nope, they will remember the riots because every news channel has picked up that story and run with it. 



enter...to my 'make believe' world



Well I said it.  I stand by my 'make believe' world and wish it was reality.  I will continue to believe that there are more 'good' people out there helping others.  I will continue to believe that the person you smile at and joke with in the check out line will remember how good you made them feel.  I will continue to believe that 'one' positive act can affect some one's life and change a person's course.  And I will continue to believe that today is a good day and is filled with more blessings that I can imagine.  Yep, that's my make believe world and I'm sticking to it!  What are your beliefs in your make believe world?
