Every single day we hear hurtful, disgusting, and terrifying things on the television, on the radio, and on YouTube videos on our phones, but what is that really doing for us as a community or a nation? Well honestly, it is tearing us apart. We have different opinions and different stances on topics and the news seems to add gas to the smaller fires, so they become something much larger than they were in the first place.

I am not oblivious to the fact that I too have my own opinions on the controversies in today's newscasts, but I also know that I would never disown or argue with anyone who believed something different than what I do. Disagreements are interesting and they help us grow as individuals and as a community. I would want to have a discussion and ask why the other person had their specific opinion because everyone has a reason that may not be completely transparent.

The news has a way of blowing up right when people start to join forces and ask what is actually happening in society, the government, or their community. A people who stand together will never fall.

So this is a different type of article. Writing is a form of news and everyday there are new articles about the presidential campaign, the zika virus, or how another celebrity died because of drug overdose. In this article though I want to make people smile; I want to make you smile.

This world is hard enough, so we might as well have something that is not depressing.

That is all of the cute and funny dog pictures this time, but if you like this and might want another "happy" article share the article and give me different ideas on what makes you smile. Together we will make the world smile again.
