I don't do everything about news. I don't read newspaper. I don't watch news tv, nor online news. It's full of bad news. I don't do facebook as well. You will find there is no activity on my facebook timeline almost three years. I am sorry for not replying the birthday wishes these three years. The reason is whenever I hear, read and watch news about politics, criminal, murder, women and kids violence and I am going to be like a crazy lady. So, you'll get me with no thrilling news everyday. However, the news always comes without invitation card.

Media
I think media is now leading the way in delivering provoking news. I don't like too much detail on something we don't have to really know unless we can change something to make it better. Yet, it is getting worse when media just like new tutorial for the new criminal.
It started since all about "terrorism" popped up. Well, I don't really mean the armed terrorist come around and terrifying us. For me, what the news do to me is more than that. I feel terror by by the news or the news creators. Unconsciously, it takes my freedom away. I just cannot hear murder, crimes, drugs and even accident because I feel worry. I get mad getting news about women and kids violence. It feels like want to kick and grab the doer to the hell but ending up with do nothing in my own room. It makes me tired. I need space for my positive think.
What happen to the world? My childhood was great. I was taught all about gratitude, respects, politeness, simplicity and help each others. I am sure every part in the world taught the same thing. Now I have been a mother, why I found out the opposite situation. I didn't think much about it when I grew up. I thought somebody just do the bad thing because he is bad. I don't bother others so they won't bother me. Then I get a conclusion of my own.
Life is not that simple.
For me life is about black and white, bad or good, evil or angel. It is all about choice. Something you cannot choice that is destiny. You can never choice your parents, you can never choice your sex and race but every human are the same and what makes them different is their heart. Don't judge me but I still believe that.
Just like the earth, life is keep running every second. Some are days, some are nights. New babies are born and some people are dead. We cannot stop it. All we do is to keep the life running by playing our part. It is fate that we are born but it is a choice how to live our life. Something I believe, good life is filled by good people with their good heart. Can we stop the crime? Never. But maybe we can minimize the evil side of the human by raising our children happily. Create the best moment of their childhoods. Good people start with happy childhood. You don't have to be rich parent to do this. Spare your time more with your kids. Show them what the good things of being human. Show them your love and how precious they are meant to you. Children deserve to be happy. They deserve a good place to grow up. Until then, let them know they are too good to be the bad people.
Sometimes it is necessary to know the details to be able to build your own opinion. First I need to understand things, only then I know if I like them or not (for example if it is about a new technology). Yes, details and exact knowledge can be very painful. But how for example could I decide to try to help the endangered Orang-Utans if I don't know how much they are threatened and how violently their environment is getting destroyed by the greed of big companies? Yes, unfortunately I need to know the bad things in detail to be able to fight against them.
It is normal that humans react like that with deep emotions, but actually humans tend to be irrational. In Germany every year more than 8000 people die because they fall down from a ladder or the stairs. More than 3000 die because of car accidents. About 10000(!) commit suicide. And even many more die because of cancer or heart attacks. That means the 'average Joe' doesn't die because of murderers, terrorists or drugs. Statistically to drive a car is more dangerous than the sum of all murderers and terrorists. :-)
Yes, of course there are cruel people who commit terrible crimes, but the probability to meet one of them is really low. We should be more frightened to fall down from a ladder instead (which is really dangerous). :-)
So don't let bad news intimidate you too much, my friend. The only way to avoid any risk would be not to exist at all ...
For me life contains a lot of grey. Is the Internet bad because it can be used by criminals? Is it good because we use it for our communication? What about crypto currencies (I personally tend to see these things in a positive way because I value freedom higher than safety)? Are streets bad because they can be used for drug smuggling? Nearly every thing (and probably every person) contains good and bad aspects at the same time. That's what makes life so complicated (but also fascinating). And the more you think the more you get aware of this complexity. That's not always easy. You are right. And I agree that the very best you can do is to educate your own children and teach them some moral values to stay stable in this liquid, complex world which changes so fast ...

Good to know your point of view. But there things that I just don't wanna know in details. It leads the tension in me and somehow can't handle it without real actions. It's just my personal problem. Thank you bro @jaki. :)

There is meaning in what you say but even when you were a kid wars were happening and crimes were being done the only difference now is that you have greater access to the knowledge, what wasn't as easily available .
"It started since all about "terrorism" popped up" terrorism has always been here as seen here https://www.thoughtco.com/american-involvement-wars-colonial-times-present-4059761
wars have happened you entire life and wars are in fact terrorism. life is not much different as you were a kid. Sure technology but the way we live, work, and terrorism hasn't only the way we have persevered it.

We're afraid that the children who are exposed too much to violence and crime news will affect them paycologically. So, keep them away from any possibility to be exposed by bad news... It's very useful post @jumaidafajar 😊

Good writing and worthy of appreciation for this is the writer's personal attitude. I just hope this opinion does not judge all the news media is wrong
