      Well, it didn’t make to the news, and the person in question eventually returned back to work, so it all ended well I guess. It was in one of the smaller cities in the eastern part of Russia, let’s say that it was Tomsk.

      And I also know a person who had some medical condition, something tells me that it was diabetes, but I can be wrong. So they fell unconcious in the winter and ended up laying in the snow for quite some time. And it was long enough for their fingers to be amputated. And the scariest thing that it was in a relatively crowded place, so there were a lot of people who could have helped them, but decided to just ignore them.

      And don’t feel horrible, it’s just some of the stories, and they don’t represent the whole picture. Also I tend to notice that usually all the horrible stuff is just easier to notice and remember and all the good things feel natural and just go by. At least it is true for me :)

        This isn’t just you. It seems like our brain gets somehow triggered by negativity. This is the exact same reason the rights use fear to pass their messages and the same reason why headlines usually play with the fear of the people, because then more people will read the article.
