Instant News

These days social media give us news up to the second. More often than not we read about it on twitter and then see it on Facebook. Then, most of us turn on CNN to see if it is real. This is the circle of how we get news these days, or at least how I get news these days. Twitter is my first stop for news.

That being said, our world has gotten infinitely smaller because of twitter and to some extent Facebook. We constantly hear bad news almost up to the second. I think as a society we need to think about how we digest this news and how fast. If we constantly keep seeing and hearing the bad news, it can affect our own personal lives. We should learn to filter what we see and hear. This is not to say that when tragedy hits, we tune it out. We, as a society, need to know that because of "instant news" with our instant coffee, you could easily spiral down to bad depths of depression.

I advocate that we try to spread more good news to each other, more love, more hope and more understanding. Spreading that each and every day will help us deal with instant news that is tragic. That cup of hope, love and understanding that we have built up will ease the pain of the inevitable tragedy that we will see and hear in our instant news.
