Positive news

Everyday, there are innumerable news items that make headlines . It sounds funny, but i have found that you start noticing more and more news items that go with your beliefs, preferences, thoughts.
So i started an experiment to hunt for positive news in whatever i read during the day online or print media. i must admit it was not easy as for some reason , positive news does not make as many headlines as does not so positive news about crime, hatred, war, politics .

Nevertheless, i am happy to report that there are enough sources of news that disseminate positive news about :

- some one helping the other in need
- some one achieving something remarkable in their field of work or play
- some one sharing a beautiful photo from nature
- some one speaking about motivating people to overcome their challenges
- some one writing a memorable book, article, poem, quote

At the end, you find what you are searching for , i guess

Why

WHY is the most important question. The WHY question comes up many times a day as we see, hear, read events in our lives and around the world. especially , what intrigues me is the contradictions in the way different people react to the same stimuli . lets look at some of them and examine if we understand the WHY behind these:

WHY does some one rape a girl child and another sets up a shelter for orphan girls ?

WHY does some one steal to make more money while another shares whatever little he has ?

WHY does some one enjoys music and books, while another revels in drinking and smoking

The explanation i have read on this topic indicates that your past impressions gravitate you towards a set of behavior ; however, the will power we have been gifted with does allow to change course .

So the solution to become what you want to become is to harness this willpower that enables one to change ourself. The famous example quoted is that of Valmiki who turned from a robber to a saint.

we still may not understand the WHY of everything that happened , but we know we can create an alternate destiny for ourselves and influence WHY something can happen
