I know what you mean about how depressing the news can be. For me, I feel like I live in a world where I don't understand half (at least) the people in it. I just don't get them at all. I get sick of reading about and hearing about all the violence and craziness, both here and abroad. A lot of foreign news just depresses me and makes me feel helpless. Many years ago, I would tune out whenever the topic of Northern Ireland and the IRA came on Then it was Serbia and Croatia and all that craziness. Now I tune out to ISIS and Syria. I don't get it and I don't want to think about it or feel responsible for it.
