We are the major issue after all???

Newspapers are one of the most accessible sources of current issues. However, if I flip through the papers nowadays, I am expected to encounter political issues whether I like it or not. It’s not like we have a choice now do we? For most people, they might find it intriguing to read through our country’s political turmoil. But I’m sure thousands of others out there, including me, are not having the joy of our lives reading through something that might gives us the spook of knowing that our country is in a state of fluctuation. Despite the fact of political issues being the major current issue in Malaysia, we should not neglect other issues that also contribute a lot in our nation. I mean, if you really want to feed the nation with spooky stuff, why not make issues of gangsterism, social illness or human abuses as the front cover instead of putting up the faces of politicians? Clearly, these issues contribute as much as the political issues to the nation’s development. So why continue on torturing the minds of the readers with the same thing over and over again? I must say, seeing the same typical headline picturing the same typical topic is not the highlight of my everyday life. Subsequently, feel good news such as charity works, new inventions and achievements are never a bad idea to keep the citizens thankful of being a part of Malaysia. People always talk about one particular issue when it comes to current issue. But from my point of view, the most significant issue that we should be discussing is how the minds of our people get entertained easily over the disputation of others. Although I do believe some of us are reading these issues out of concern for the country, somehow it makes me sick how our people prefer to read about conflicts of others, not because they care for what’s happening in the country but simply because they enjoy criticizing people’s principles and the decisions made by them. As the nations are being fed with the kind of news that provoke the readers to think of other people’s problems every single day, it is no wonder they come up with the saying “Mind your own business!” I am not blaming or pointing at any particular party here. I’m just saying, if each and every one of us could set our minds right on knowing when and what we should expose our minds to, many issues could be resolved. Because if the citizens don’t spend a penny for the same ridiculous story, whoever causes the issue wouldn’t feel the need of doing so as it will fail in the attempt of attracting people’s attention. So you see, the people’s minds are the major issue after all.
