As a tiny speck of dust in the world, I cannot possibly be affected by all the countless ongoing events changing our shared community. However, I believe it is still important to leave my personal bubble and keep myself updated with the latest news. Not only do current events expand my knowledge, it also entertains and fulfills me.

Although most events do not concern me, they still serve as relevant and fruitful knowledge sources as it plays out a certain scenario in the indiscernible world of humans. By reading the latest news, I am able to absorb new information on the reactions of people, the emphasis of newspaper headlines, and also new discoveries. People's reactions to highlighted events serve as a reliable source to understand the different sides of a problem, subsequently developing my problem-solving skills. The newspaper's emphasis sheds light on the notable or popular events, leading me to understand what people enjoyed reading. New discoveries in the scientific and social realms enable me to better understand how things generally worked in the world and also help me connect the dots on the things I was previously confused with. Despite the irrelevance of most events to my well-being, keeping myself updated to these current events develop myself as an individual and force myself to think critically. 
On the other hand, staying updated on current events also entertain and fulfill my needs for new and foreign things. Life would be pretty boring if days repeated itself throughout a lifetime, thus, the demand for new and refreshing ideas and events is never-ending. Nowadays, media sources know exactly how to lure our attention and direct us to the most-appealing article or video. Whenever I go on youtube, there would always be a list of recommended videos for me to watch. These videos acutely target my hobbies based on my viewing history and present me the newly updated videos regarding those specific hobbies. Although the contents of these videos are usually extraneous to my daily life, they fill in the gap of my utter boredom and often light up my day. 
In conclusion, although most events happening around the world are unlikely to affect my daily life, it is still beneficial to stay updated. Not only do these current events expand one's knowledge, it also fulfills one's necessity for entertainment, consequently relieving them from the constant stress and pressure from our modern world.
