I feel the same way, unfortunate I really don't know how to do not let it bother me as well. It just seems like there's so much negativity surrounding us. Murder, war, rape, disease, police brutality, racism and more. It's a lot to deal with, even if it doesn't personally happen to you. Anyone that's not desensitized would be effected by it and a bit depressed perhaps.

I always try to make my part of the world a little bit better. Simple things mostly: clean trash around me, smile to strangers, hold doors open at stores, treat others the way I want to be treated.

I can't make murderers, rapists, bad cops, tyrants and disease behave themselves. But I can hope that if I behave myself then others around me will do the same. And then when I slip and act rude, I hope friends will point it out to me!

Some individuals are just f**ked up! I am practicing acceptance at that as opposed to being a 'Social Justice Warrior' on each individual issue.

I agree with PepperMan, I try to watch less TV.

yea i agree with PepperMan too. for me i stay away from all that. knowing that im the better person then the murderers, rapists, abusive, violent ppl. some ppl where i live open doors and says morning to u even if u dont know them.

I SEE BAD THINGS ON TV ALL DAY LONG WHICH ISNT HELPING MY DEPRESSION AT ALL....................
TURN YOUR TV OFF OR WATCH POSITIVE UPLIFTING MOVIES AND SHOWS.

BY THE WAY , A PERFECT LORD IN HEAVEN LOVES U.............
HE IS A GOOD AND PERFECT BEING 2 THINK ABOUT.
CONCENTRATE ON HIM MORE AND BAD THINGS LESS.
MAKE A GRATITUDE LIST TOO.

Try to find love for yourself and acknowledge the beauty of life in general. The world is full of evil, this is true and ignoring it is just as bad as thinking only of it.

It is important that was understand and view the bad parts of the world and in human nature so that we can better understand how to avoid or correct it.

It's very difficult to not let others effect you especially when you must see them every single day. My mom for example can ruin my mood in seconds with her special nagging and guilt trips. I can dwell on it for an hour or more because it drives me up the wall but letting yourself dwell on negative things has no positive outcome. I find something to distract me for a bit until I can get my mind going down another path of thought.

A wise person one said "If you have fear of some pain or suffering, you should examine whether there is anything you can do about it. If you can, there is no need to worry about it; if you cannot do anything, then there is also no need to worry. That person is the Dalai Lama.

What does this mean? Well it's simple, if you can not fix these bad things you notice, for whatever reasons, then worrying about it can only make it worse for you. If you can fix it, then you have no reason to worry because it is within your power to fix it.

However, there is a hidden message within this many fail to notice. How often could you do something to fix it but do not because of whatever reasons? Maybe find what you feel needs to be improved and give yourself purpose by making a positive influence on that which you see as bad.

Negativity can only be countered by positivity. We all have to start making that positive influence somewhere, somehow.

Yeah, but there's some good in the world too. You have to look for it. Hang out with some sweet little kids! I'm OK with there being bad in the world, as long as in my little part of the world, my little circle of family and friends, there is good, love. All I need is my little sliver of good, and I try to be good in return, when someone makes what appears to be a completely selfless, loving gesture toward me. Makes me want to return the favor or pay the positive gesture forward.
