There is a motto in the news business "If it bleeds, it leads". The media will always show the murder or the mugging instead of a positive news story. They do it for the same reason people slow down to rubberneck at a car accident. So, don't become jaded by what you see on TV and read in the newspapers. The good news stories are out there ,but are seldom reported.
The world ,as Jess said, has always been a messed up place. There really is no sense to be made of it all. Just don't let it get to you. Maybe taking a break from watching the news on TV might help.
