fiona was telling me about the news this morning. something about the london bombings. and a sudden realisation hit me, i know nothing about what's going on in the world today because i've stopped reading the papers for a year or so. okay, my rationale for doing so may seem weird. it's not because im lazy, and it's not because i don't deem it important enough. in fact i remember a time when i devoted time to read the papers everyday, and i did it faithfully. well, it was during this time frame that i found the papers saddistic. almost the whole paper brings you bad news, wars, terrorist threats, scandals, murders, suicide. and everytime i read the papers every morning it just saddens me. not a really good way to start of the day. AND i asked myself why would anyone want to put themselves through the misery of reading these terrible news everyday? i mean you know that there's gonna be be more bad news than good ones everyday. it was then that i decided i don't need to read these heart breaking news anymore. sometimes i wonder if there really is no heart warming news? or is it simply because these heart warming news are not worthy of the headlines?

papers are unhealthy.
