Newsweek Will Put the Smile Back On Your Face!
Dear friends
We are bombarded with so much negative news, that for many of us our glasses have become black, and all we see is tragedy and hardship.
So is there light in the end of the tunnel? Are we living the Messianic era? Is the world that bad?
Below is a link to an article in the Newsweek magazine, which will clean up those glasses of yours, and give you a fresh and optimistic perspective. Although the title of the article seems pessimistic, in truth it’s the other way around.
Enjoy! And start smiling once again.
Here is a taste of the article:
A team of scholars at the University of Maryland has been tracking deaths caused by organized violence. Their data show that wars of all kinds have been declining since the mid-1980s and that we are now at the lowest levels of global violence since the 1950s. Deaths from terrorism are reported to have risen in recent years. But on closer examination, 80 percent of those casualties come from Afghanistan and Iraq, which are really war zones with ongoing insurgencies—and the overall numbers remain small. Looking at the evidence, Harvard’s polymath professor Steven Pinker has ventured to speculate that we are probably living “in the most peaceful time of our species’ existence.”
