Why does the media try to make us believe the world is only a terrible and scary place and that a good and safe world is non existent?

Like I get that bad and unfortunate things happen but I believe that with majority of people bad things happen rarely. So rarely that when a bad thing happens, it brings us down. We ruminate over that bad thing and we forget the many good things that exist before and after that bad thing happened but with the news and social media only ever showing unfortunate events, our minds seem to be hyper focused on the bad things.

It sells better if you're scared. If every story was fireman rescuing kittens from trees you would just tune it out. Rather your neighbors could be rapists, killers, the nation is on the brink of civil war and blue is evil, red is evil, you'll pay attention, tune in, and listen to the commercials that keep them in business.

For click bait n tv' ratings.

But crime is real. Real danger. And frequent.

So news reports rapists n murders etc. Not a lie.

Most places ARE scary places, at least at night. In u. s. n most of the world.

What you described is the "tragic truth" .

World is terrible n scary and danger.

That is why we lock doors n even that is not enough! We have cameras everwhere n satelite monitor too, for when criminals deny.

Shops cover their windows in new york with metal every night because humans are greedy n rotten. They hope they won't get caught.

"Does god see me break a window n steal? But i read many times god is not real, hell is not real. i will get me a new tv" the criminals say.

And promoters of atheism are partners in each crime!
