There is so much more to happiness than negative news.

A friend escaped Bosnia during the war. She chose to live in New Zealand, because the top news story of the day was about a cat that was lost. She figured if that was all New Zealand had to worry about, then New Zealand was the country for her. She found gainful employment, raised a kid, and she went to the beach every weekend during the summer. She hated it. She is back in Europe now.
