Good news is always welcome news. Every bit of good news, no matter how seemingly trivial in the larger order of things it may see, is literally a breath of fresh air. That is why we become ecstatic about every small triumph that we learn about, even if they involve people whom we do not personally know, situations we ourselves have not yet experienced, and places we have yet to visit.
We become optimistic about any scientific breakthrough with its promise of a better life that is hopefully in harmony with nature. We feel proud when we hear of everyday people returning to authority large sums of money and saying that no matter how tempting the find is, they simply could not keep what’s not theirs.
We become thankful to public servants who stay true to the cause not to gain media mileage but to carry out their sworn duty. We are as jubilant as every single Filipino who surpassed seemingly insurmountable odds—surviving life-threatening diseases and or calamities, and reforming their lives and improving on what used to be a way ward existence.
Hearing good news can recharge our “batteries.” Like a holiday, it can relax the mind and relieve stress. Good news always brings a smile to our faces. It brings hope that no matter how bad things are, they won’t stay that way. Well, they could take a turn for the worse, but then all things pass. We must have a firm resolve that we can prevail on it all. – Bato Balani
