Almost Half a Billion People are Fighting

A journalist was giving a speech in a seminar. 
With profound concern, he said: The world's condition is critically bad right now. 
Almost half a billion people are at war - fighting with each other. What has happened to the world? 
I am very concerned and sad to see all this. The world is not as it used to be. 
There is so much distress. It's so disturbing. 
Suddenly, a man from the audience got up and said: 'Can I ask you a question, please? 
The journalist said; yes, of course.
'What is the current population of the world?' The man asked.
"According to the statistics, about seven and a half billion". The journalist replied.
The man said: 'You just told us that almost half a billion people are at war - fighting with each other. 
The journalist said - According to the statistics - Yes.
The man said - Doesn't it mean that seven billion people are not at war?
I know it is sad that half a billion people are fighting, but at the same time, it should give us some relief that seven billion people are living peacefully - not fighting.'

Why do we always focus on negativity - what is not good?
Instead of criticizing and condemning the wicked and evil all the time, why don't we spend more time appreciating the good and kind people?

                      Ghar say zaraa nikal kar dekho" 
The world is not as bad as it seems.
