It is true that

Editors

to me that people do become accustomed to negative

. We are exposed on a daily basis to

about war, crime, natural disasters and tragic human suffering around the world. I believe that

repeated exposure gradually desensitises people, and we become more disappointed about the world. I would prefer to see more positive

as reporters of the work of medical staff after a natural disaster, or the kindness of volunteers who help in their communities.

to choose which

to present, but I would like to see a more positive approach to
this
vital public service.
