Reading a news paper is a health hazard. Mental health, I mean.
Violence from all over the world is the staple. Organised, sponsored by governments, conveniently ignored by governments, personal - greed induced, jealousy induced, film inspired . . . the list seems to be unending. Land grabbers, officials taking huge bribes, officials of failed banks and their huge bonuses . .
Fortunately for me, my news paper is delivered at such a time in the morning as I can not read it before I leave for work. Good thing. When I do read the papers, I filter out most of it and read what interests me. Saves a lot of time too.
It is a hard job being a self diagnosed "incurable" optimist in this cynical, violence-ridden world.
Then you come across something like this: Honest Taxi Driver Reaps Rewards.
Ah, I can face tomorrow. All is not lost.
Once an auto(rickshaw) driver drove to my place and returned a bag I and my wife had forgotten in it. Such things must be celebrated. They were celebrated here.
Did you hear about the taxi driver who returned a Stradivarius?
Yes. All is not lost!
