Life is all relative. For years people died of natural causes, now they die of cancer,etc., that used to be called narural causes. There were not as many horrific happenings in the world, because the information could not get from one place to another for a decade sometimes. But the bad things and the bad people existed forever. Call me a hippy, if you want to, but all you have to do is love someone or something nearby and lifes meaning will show up. Some call it God, some call it humane, some call it fate. If you don,t want to watch what someone says you want to see on TV, then turn it off. Pick up, or better yet pick out a book that you want to read and relax. I am 66 and not in good shape at all. I try to teach anyone what I can from the small amount of wisdom I have aquired.
