News is not always pleasant. It can provide us happy as well as sad information about the world. For instance, the death of a famous personality makes us unhappy and sad, whereas the wedding of a popular personality spreads happiness around the world.
We get to learn many lessons from the newspapers, after going through the experiences of others. For instance, when we read the sufferings of the old people in the world, who are ignored by their children, we get to learn a lesson that we must be kind towards the old people and save money for our old-age, so that we do not become dependent on others, when we reach the final stage of our life.
The men learn lessons to treat their life partners with respect, when they observe the revolutionary spirit arising in the women. There are many men, who ill-treat their wives and misbehave with them. Some of the tortured women kill their husbands, when they are not able to tolerate their atrocities. The news portraying such incidents warn men not to disrespect women, else they could turn violent and kill the devils to get rid of them.
