One can do both. People are upvoting the sentiment, "I learned a long time ago not to see the world through the printed headlines," and the fact that even during the worst of times, you can see the good all around you, love your loved ones, and be kind to the people you meet. You can do this while still paying attention to the crisis we are facing and doing whatever you can to fight it. The worst things that are going on aren't in the headlines, either.
