“To a philosopher all news, as it is called, is gossip, and they who edit and read it are old women over their tea.”
— Thoreau
The media, the news, is often nothing more than gossip.
Most of today’s “popular” news really is fake news – to divert viewers attention away from the viewers life, & give it to an electronic media that doesn’t care about viewers.
The media is often dis-empowering, but there is a solution to regain your power – turn off the news. Ignore it. Politicians will still be lying & complaining tomorrow & the next day, & that’s not changing anytime soon.
Anyway, I sometimes watch the news for entertainment, but I don’t take it seriously. Some of it may be serious, but most of it’s not.
What is real is my life, and your life. What is real is your direct experience with life here & now & into your future.
You matter – & believe it or not, your life is more important than every single politician on this planet. I promise you this is true – your life is more important than theirs.
Take some time to turn off the news & reclaim your power, your life.
