When reading the newspapers, watching television, or checking social media posts, we not only receive a lot of bad news, hear of imminent wars, protests, murders, and so many more terrible stories. All true, really happening, and that is so sad. The news, social media and television is traumatizing most of the time.
Yet we keep on going back to social media and so forth. We cannot stay away, and these horror stories
affect us in more ways than we care to admit.
Yes, it is good to have information and know what is going on, but to
get involved by posting sarcastic comments or hate speech just escalates the ugliness. 
We need a daily dose of good news; we need to hear or read uplifting stories that make us smile and realize there is so much good emerging. Finding the good news, happy stories is not easy, but they are there. We must just search for the happy ending stories.
When I checked the news today, and social media X (twitter), I just could not find any good news stories. Just posts about wars, hate speech, murders, intimidation, and lack. Yes, there were adverts as always.
As I work for a non-profit organization and deal with poverty and lack daily. Hearing real stories of desperation and fear and actually seeing the appalling conditions some people live in, is devastating and so, going forward, I have decided to only post uplifting stories and motivational quotes. I believe I will have a few good news stories to tell in the near future. Will keep updating.
And just for reference, I did not ask AI to help me write this post.
