The News

I sometimes choose to not look up the news. This is because nearly everytime I do listen to the news, I feel either sad, humiliated, or depressed.
The pictures that come onto our screens along with the words, often coming from Iraq, the occupied Palestine and the rest of the Muslim world show how ignorant some people are to allow these disasters to take place, stay there and worsen over the years. I feel guilt as if I am part of these people. So I choose the easy way out: dump the news for good!
This is wrong. One should pushed towards change upon hearing bad news. "And if you want to help your fellow man, you better start with what is in your hand," as Yusuf Islam chants.
May Allah bless us with constant change towards the better in all of our earthly times!
