simple kindness isn't rare, it's just not shown because the news is things out of the ordinary, and kindness is ordinary. getting too tapped into the sadness drip gets into you after a while and makes it seem like everything is going bad. if you get in for too long it starts to poison the good things that you do see, like "is this good thing special now?"

i wrote more but there's no way it could be constructive so basically don't lose hope the fact that there are people here to agree with you means that it's not true
