The need for an understanding of life's fluctuations couldn't have been more apparent that in the past few weeks with the sad and needless deaths of children at several of our nations schools.As my co-author Michael C. Kelley and I have discussed often recently, our world is rampant with sensationalism. Many of us tire of the news and have begun to tune out its daily grind of spoon-fed gruel consisting of terror, doom and gloom, sadness, and national and international threats of one catastrophe or another.Anytime humans are constantly subjected to only negatives it wears on their collective psyche and anger, frustration and depression are the result. So often, the unfortunate recipients of those emotions are children.Many want to blame our culture, but I beg to disagree. I think the news organizations can only see ratings when a tragedy has occurred and scurry to be the first to be more sensational than their peers.At heart, our culture is kind, positive, philanthropic, and happy while going through their daily lives. We work hard to enjoy our little corners of the world with our families and friends. When we look for the good in life that is what we see. If you only look at the bad it is that which will occupy your thoughts.Our culture isn't inherently violent or depraved. With 300 million of us inhabiting this great nation, the numbers have to reveal a percentage who will be unwilling to live by our laws, ethics and morals. As the old saying goes: "A few bad apples make the rest look bad."Out in the heartland of America are good, law abiding, moral decent people who are quietly enduring the onslaught of bad news from the media. They go to church or spend spiritual time at home alone or with their families. It is they who are the fabric holding this country together.When you sit and watch the evening news be vigilant in your judgment of what is being reported and what you internalize. Look inside yourself for happy thoughts to balance the negativity. Create your own news of good things in life, which you are grateful for and look forward to each day. If you feel yourself slipping into negative feelings about the world, our country or your own home, remember all of the wonderful things that have happened in your life and will continue to occur. See the good in your world, actually feel it, and you will enjoy life a lot more.As Mike said in his portion of this month's Pawsibilities, find the quiet time to calm down and see the true possibilities of greatness that surround you each and every day, no matter how depressed the mass marketed news tells you, you ought be.The happier we are collectively, the less the negativity will exist among us…now that would be news worth reporting.In the end, it's just one man's opinion…mine.Keith E. Renninson is a motivational speaker and co-author of the popular parenting tool and illustrated storybook for children, "Zooch the Pooch, My Best Friend". Through the 1990's with much self-examination, academic study, bicycle racing, and mountain climbing, he discovered a renewed zest of life, which included a love of metaphysics, philosophy, humor, and writing and speaking.
