It's Christmas - Believe In The Good In Mankind

A Comment left by an unidentified Pessimist.

"It's too bad you believe everything you read, this is a bunch of Christmas crap by Reuters. You should really question everything and believe nothing from our media." 

It is true, 

that everyone should be leery of anything you read on the internet. 

You need to sift through the stories 

and pick which ones can possibly be true. 

I usually find a story on the internet, 

then follow it to its original source. 

Like everything in life, 

a story gets passed around, 

from one media outlet to another, 

with a new writer taking bits 

and pieces from the original to make it his 

or her own. 

Embellishing the story in their own way. 

But, 

I look for a few things to decide if I believe in a story. 

First, 

I find out who originally broke the story 

and go to their website to read the first draft. 

Next I look at who picked up the story, 

as in other media outlets, 

to see who puts it out there as newsworthy. 

Then I decide for myself if it is true 

or not. 

I'm not saying I can't be fooled, 

but everyone needs to believe in something, 

or you grow more bitter daily, 

in your life. 

I'm not sure if I know who wrote this Comment. 

I have several pessimists who read this Blog 

and only Comment when they get riled by my words. 

I'm happy that they Comment though. 

It means I must be do something right. 

But, 

if it is the person who I think it is, 

his Comment is self-delusional. 

This person will only watch 

Youtube Videos 

which scorn anything Muslim. 

He will only read articles spewing hatred. 

And even though I have shown him where Islam is a religion and extremists only use the 

Quran 

to hide their evil intentions, 

he still hates anything Muslim. 

I guess being Catholic, 

or an offshoot thereof, 

the atrocities the Catholics have committed over the centuries are 

OK 

in the eyes of 

God.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
