Don’t believe everything the media says

Life and the media have taught us the follwing lessons: don’t talk to strangers, beware of the man behind you, don’t walk down that dark alley and be suspicious of the man offering you a lift.

So, what happens when two young girls decide to sleep in a house with three male strangers they have never met before and only seen on the interent…DEATH,MURDER, BLOOD? What happens when these two girls jump in a black car with a young man speeding to work…SLAUGHTER, RAPE? What happens when these two foreigners who don’t speak a word of the country’s language eat the food given to them by the old lady in the backseat of a car….really didn’t Snow White teach us not to eat the poisoned innocent looking fruit?

Travelling in a country with our clothes strapped to our back, a few coins in our purse and a sense of adventure, we avoided becoming a weeping mess even if we were relying on nothing but ”the kindness of strangers”. And far from being carried away, destroyed,  crazy or dead my love for humanity has only increased, the desire to help those in need grown and faith in the world and gone from nothing to indestructible.

Maybe if we paid less attention to the media, more to our instincts and looked at the individual rather than thinking of the bad apple the world would be a safer place, happier and fun
