Ignore the negativity spewed out by the world.

Getting all stressed and anxiety over what the world does, what they says, all that junk, are not worth it.

Best to turn your backs on them.

They do not care about you, about your health, about your wellness. They only cares about selling you nightmares. That's all they do. Sell nightmares. Sell fear. Sell terror.

Where's the happy news? It's always depressing news.

Bah, to hell with those rubbish.

Heck, there's a phrase here that I reminds myself a lot:

"Why worry? It probably won't happen."

How cool is that? Why worry indeed. So all the bad news of the world are not personal. They're just bad news that they sells. They makes money from all the bad news they manufactured. It's all "make work" crap. No point wasting time on reading their bad news.

Look, instead, to good news out there, hidden, but they are out there. Good news is everywhere.

The problem is we've been trained since birth to expects bad news, to look for bad news, and on and on. When you lives for a long time, and year by year got tired of hearing / reading bad news, you realise you don't have to take in all this bad news crap and ingests their petrufaction.

You can let go. Let all the bad news go. You don't HAVE to take on all that crap.

You feels relief and then free, from having to look much less hear those crap.

It feels good. It feels great!

Go do your thing that makes you HAPPY. That's the most important thing.

When everyone, the whole world, would stop focusing on bad news, and do their own thing without hurting anyone else, THEN suddenly these bad news crap would dries up.

It's simple.

Eyeballs is what they're trying to drown with bad news. Don't give them your eyeballs, (or ears), aka attention.

Ignore them.

Unless some bad news affects your life, THEN you must deal with it, but other than that, yes, you can ignore bad news.

Just make your life the most happiest way you can create.

Be happy. Enjoy each day to the fullest.

Did you hear the rumor about butter? Well, I'm not going to go spreading it!

Jeanette Maples, a 16-year-old girl residing in Eugene, Oregon, had a passion for reading during her time at Cascade Middle School from 2006. However, after completing eighth grade in 2008, she transitioned to being homeschooled under the registration of Lane Education Service District. Jeanette lived with her mother, Angela McAnulty, and Angela's husband, Richard McAnulty.
On the evening of December 9, 2009, just before 8 PM, authorities received a distress call from the residence on Howard Avenue. Inside, they found Jeanette unconscious and injured in the bathtub. Angela claimed that Jeanette had been sleeping in the living room when she suddenly stopped breathing.
Jeanette was swiftly taken to Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend in Springfield, but she was pronounced dead upon arrival. Upon initial examination, it became apparent that Jeanette had endured prolonged abuse and starvation. Dr. Daniel Davis, the pathologist who performed the autopsy, stated that Jeanette had suffered such extensive harm from various sources that he couldn't determine which specific injury had caused her death. Her body had wasted away, devoid of fat and with minimal muscle tissue.
The effects of starvation alone could have been fatal, but Jeanette's body exhibited numerous injuries in different stages of healing. Over 200 injuries were observed, many resulting from blunt force inflicted by a manufactured object with a straight, machined edge. Dr. Davis discovered a hole at the back of Jeanette's head, causing bleeding in her brain. Furthermore, Jeanette had pneumonia in the form of an abscessed lung, which might have introduced bacteria into her bloodstream, leading to shock and eventual demise.
