Volatile times

The calm before the storm, Mumbai

Listening or looking at the news on a daily basis leaves me in a state of flux.
These are volatile times. Cholera epidemic in Zimbabwe and riots in Greece for instance.
The chaos in the world reflects the state of the planet in terms of its over all health. On pretty much every front we need to respond and change our way of life.
Change is a common denominator in the solution area. We have problems to deal with and we need to soon or it could be too late.
Change and evolution is the axiom of our existence.
I personally am confused and overwhelmed. I feel bombarded with information and not enough sense of appropriate action to take.
"Stop talking, start doing" is a motto banded about however how do we make intelligent and informed decisions in our own lives where change ultimately starts.
Trust is an important issue in this situation. Trusting the source, trusting the research, trusting the solutions offered...
The news is something that really gets me down. It is almost exclusively "bad" news.
Murder, disasters, war news, illness,...it leaves me feeling so sad.
There is "good" news out there too I know. I wish we could have time spent on the positive events that take place also. People helping each other, all the voluntary work done in the world, simple random acts of kindness, love of animals, major discoveries that can help with eco problems...
This kind of news can make us feel inspired and hopeful!
I wish for a dose of good news every day!
