Pessimism

Ok so there is a line I like in a Jack Johnson song it goes:

somebody saw him jump yeah, but nobody saw him slip

I don’t know if this is what he is getting at but it always makes me think of how true it is that we so often see the worst in everything. Especially the media has away of making everything out to be as bad as possible because that is what sells that is what gets us interested… nobody wants to hear about the guy who slipped fell and died everyone wants to hear about the guy who jumped and killed himself.

Kind of a sick problem with our society.
