"Sometimes we read or hear too much news that makes us fearful or suspicious of others. We can forget that most of the people that we know, or at least encounter regularly, are decent and friendly"
- Adrienne Clarkson
About this Quote
This quote by Adrienne Clarkson is a pointer to not let the news we take in shape our view of the world. It is simple to become afraid or suspicious of others when we are constantly exposed to negative newspaper article. However, it is necessary to keep in mind that the majority of the people we understand and encounter are decent and friendly. We should not let the news we consume cloud our judgement of individuals around us. Instead, we should concentrate on the positive elements of our relationships with others and aim to construct meaningful connections. By doing this, we can create a more positive and inclusive environment for ourselves and those around us.
"The opportunity to create a small world between two pieces of cardboard, where time exists yet stands still, where people talk and I tell them what to say, is exciting and rewarding"
