I was so cheered this morning to read a post from Melissa Fleming on Medium – As people retreat from news of doom, hope is more gripping than fear.

What she wrote:

“My job at the UN is to communicate the state of the world. To do so I could tell any number of terrifying and attention-grabbing stories. But in the long run, I’d begin to lose people. I’m increasingly working on the premise that gloom doesn’t keep people gripped. Hope does.
