“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.'” —Fred Rogers
With a mother giving him good advice like that, it’s no wonder that Mr. Rogers grew up to be the type of person that you would want as your neighbor. Fred Rogers was a part of my adulthood. I did not know him until I started raising my own children. I think I loved his show more than my kids did. It was so positive and encouraging.
That is the term known as SENSATIONALISM!!! Where everyone sees the bad stuff rather than the good ones? News tend do that because it sells. Simply put 9/10 times people will be drawn to chaos, sex and scandals??? Because we find beauty in it to be honest.
