Thanks
Let's hope for more positive things for this year2016....and onwards
Yes, searching for more good things would be a great start...If we could all do that, I'm sure many more good things will come...
But when something negative happens in this world the media will do huge cover stories about it.
It just seems that negative sells.
wetweewww!!! chos! char!
I hope for good new year for you and yours
Maybe if we showed more good ones people would do more.
That's becuase people prefer to read bad news than good news
Thank you
Have a lovely night there
This is not the first time, I've posted his photo
How's your Christmas by the way?
Thank you8 so much
I was kinda serious when I posted this blog earlier...then gotten busy and abandoned this...but I'm in a lighter mood now...not really fitting for my blog topic
I love Molly's post too...haven't heard of most of it...so glad she posted them here...
would be nice to hear more positive news out there...I'm sure it will bring a lot of positive reactions from many...would be a great start to change this chaotic world...
I was watching a program about these people starving in Africa, mostly children and it just makes me ask myself, why?
I am aware it is not only in Africa, but the show I watched was from there and it just makes me cringe. Similar to your post of the children, living like skeletons. Very sad.
yes, very sad...and what actually confuses me are the wealth that rich people and rich countries are spending on unnecessary things
Saudi is building the tallest tower railways for train that not many locals will use...they are spending billions of money on these projects that could be put to better use...
Trumps has loads of money...can make a big difference in the world too...I'm sure those rich people give back to the needy...but how much really? Does what they give make a difference to what they have...I think they could give more....they won't be able to take their riches with them when they die anyway
even here on blogland...negative blogs attract more attention than the positive ones
Well! Either Way.
I don't get involved with it! Because I do not have that much time on my hand. And besides! There's a huge chance that I want meet that person in person. So! I wouldn't be able to say!
Do You Want To Take This Outside?
So! I can beat them up.____
