Some thoughts

I don’t think that Humans were meant to be able to pyschologically withstand this much negativity at once.

Every day I hear more and more bad news: about the rise of Nazi’s in America, the devastations of multiple hurricanes, bombings in Turkey, deaths in Russia. 

It makes me think what is the point, why am I so helpless to stop any of it?

But then I thought about the life of the average person before the 20th century, they would not be hearing about so much death and destruction on a daily basis. 

Even a few decades ago, because of the lack of social media, we were not exposed to it, to such a degree.

So it is fine to take a break from reading the news, if you feel overwhelmed, there is a reason for that.
