News and tragedy! I guess, these two words share a lot in common, I mean there's no news nowadays without a touch of tragedy and a trail of sadness. It's either explosions, hates, injustices, treasons, brutal killings and the list continues.
Like I'm I the only one noticing that there's nothing joyful and exciting on news these days. Going through the info hubs, surfing the net, reading the papers on a daily, nothing different yunno. All share similar deadly features. Honestly, I've lost interest in the local news, but then I wanna stay updated of thre ills in the society, going emotional wherever and whenever I deem fit.
