Once you
start looking for it there’s plenty of good news around and lots of people are
working hard to create a better future.
I just wonder why the media only presents bad news? I once heard a famous BBC presenter (John
Humphreys actually) say that no-one’s really interested in good news. I don’t think that’s true and I sometimes
wonder whether spreading bad news is a way of keeping us all fearful and
powerless. So, I’m going to carry on with
the good news.
I've
noticed that many people who are beginning to feel the loss of a
spiritual dimension in their lives, but who reject religion, are seeking spiritual experiences through things like
meditation and yoga. Or they are beginning to value the
natural environment, gardening, allotmenteering, camping and walking in
the
countryside and generally working to protect the natural world and the
other
animal species with whom we share the planet
People in
increasing numbers are ‘downsiding’ to live a simpler life as they recognise
that the dream of happiness through material consumption is a sham
People are
joining together in groups to move towards a new way of living … local food growing community projects …
transition town movements looking at how we will live when the oil has run out …
Yep,
I’m cheered – there’s quite a lot of good news out there - and if you doubt that then just take a look at: www.positivenews.org.uk - that'll lift your spirits!
