The response to good vs bad news: evidence of a trauma response?
<span class="html-content"><p>We all know how bad news sells better than good news does and it makes me wonder what goes on in people’s minds to make them more excited about hearing, sharing and discussing bad news rather than good news.</p>
<p>This then begs the question: Are we all evil or are we just all products of our past trauma and it’s just a trauma response?</p>
<p>I know that everyone is struggling with something and I like to think that means we all share that experience of going through hard times; you would think that we would be more understanding, willing to help and accepting of people when they fall or fail or just aren’t in the right space but it’s quite the contrary: a lot of people criticise and celebrate people’s tough times…</p>
<p>I sit here wondering how we expect the world to get better if we don’t even like/love ourselves…</p>
<p>We don’t have any other specie coming to save us, we are all we have and we have to learn to heal, not just personally but globally…</p>
<p>I have chosen to be a part of the healing of the hearts in the world, I hope you will too…</p>
<p>LET US SHARE AND BE EXCITED ABOUT GOOD NEWS!</p>
<p>What do you reckon?</p>

At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
