They even wrote a song about our obsession with bad news, Read the lyrics, you can mute the sound if you like.
Well, if you mean.........do we bury our heads in the sand and ignore bad news? Absolutely not! When I read/listen to bad news, I don't embed myself into it, I read/listen and go on with life. Or, at least try to. LOL
No that's not the purpose of the thread because in the New Testament alone it says to watch at least 44 times if memory serves me, but not to 'think' on these things imo means not to dwell on it but to try and dwell on the good things instead. I think this is good for anyone to do religious or not. Don't you?
