Re: 100-Year-Old WWII Vet Gets Special Letter From The White House
Without even checking I can almost guarantee that stories like this are happening far more frequently than what gets reported by the MSM.
I just wish people would take a step back and be more discerning. Learn to critically dissect stories. Think for yourselves. And definitely don't let someone else tell you how you are supposed to feel about a certain topic. Good pull."We're not changing anything." -John Harbaugh

Re: 100-Year-Old WWII Vet Gets Special Letter From The White House
I just checked out this book from the local library: It's Better Than It Looks - Reasons for Optimism in an Age of Fear
https://www.amazon.com/Its-Better-Th.../dp/B074M5N2TP
I am only 1 chapter in, but the the author - Gregg Easterbrook - makes some similar points about how the media (especially social media) for business and/or political reasons harp on the bad news. All the while missing the big picture that the human condition has never been greater and the prospects for even more improvement across the board (health, income, education, nutrition, etc.) have never been brighter.
There are stories like the OP posted and this book detail out there....you just have to hunt for them....and probably wouldn't be a bad idea to limit your time on social media while doing it.

Because they stem from the same area of the brain - the amygdala and they are very easy to tap into and control.
Interesting article:
