It’s not rare. It’s simply overshadowed by the mountain of shit that social media and well… just media in general shove in our faces.

It’s not a conspiracy theory to state that fear is one of, if not the single most effective emotion to create desired behavior in humans. We’ve figured this out and perfected it. Thus, most of us will mainly see things that cause fear and anger, with just enough “eyebleach” material sprinkled in to re-sensitize us to the fearmongering once again.

The world is a stark, bleak place, but it’s also beautiful and filled with wonderful people. It just takes a bit more effort to see them through the fog created by current pop media tech and trends.
