Def. stop watching the news, like everyones been saying. And everyday, make a list of what your thankful for and all the positive things in your life. You start to see how much postivity there really is in the world. I mean, we could be doing better as a society, but it's not as horrible as the media glorifies it. Once you shift you focus to the positive, you'll see what "the point is," and the though of you participating in something negative, won't even cross your mind.
