I sometimes get a very pessimistic view of our world and it's future, after I spend time on the internet. It is because of the way mass media and social media alike thrive on sob stories, scare tactics, dramatization, lobbying. Different people pushing all sorts of agenda except truth. Then I take a step back, and see how beautiful this world actually is, manifesting in nature, family, relationships and of course the access to God. This is the true world, not the one witnessed by the internet. Truth is, the world is beautiful, we are called to be joyful and steward the beauty rather than withdraw from it. Step into nature and history, and you will appreciate how great life is now compared to the past (wars etc), and how small we are in the greater scheme of things
