Another expression we use often to convey the thought that when we don't hear from someone, everything is okay and we needn't be concerned. But the phrase can also be interpreted as: nothing on the news is very good and so none of what we hear is very good. To counter this impression, the news broadcast tries to report a "feel good" story as they end the broadcast to have us leave with a positive experience from the mountain of negativity which preceded it.
I don't know why, but I usually turn the news off before the last story and, therefore, have a pessimistic view of the world to end my viewing experience. The world is in sad shape. Our priorities are all out of whack and we are digging up old hurts and distorting our past to try to create a Utopia when it is impossible to do so since we have no idea what that means. We lost our only Utopia when Adam and Eve decided that the one tree they were told not to touch became the only tree that they wanted.
There is an solution, but the world doesn't really want to believe it and those of us who do believe in the solution are about to lose our right to meet together, to tell others about it and make the feel good story the Good News which will return us to the "pre-Apple Garden" which God has prepared for us.
Almost like a parable. "He who has ears to hear, let him hear". It's up to us.
