Follow up on purpose!
Love/light are more powerful energies than fear/darkness.
As we become better humans and move towards the "higher being" we become more light/love. It raises us personally but also the whole of humanity.
Fear, darkness and hate pull us down and it's a natural reaction to be fascinated or intrigue. Bad news sells for a reason! Our basic human "animal self" is a self-absorbed survivor at any cost creature vs. our soul which craves flowing back and rejoining the source. That's our battle, our purpose - to become as light/love as possible in this life journey.
