I am so tired of watching so many people torture themselves by paying attention to mainstream "news" sources.. or even some of this shit alternative news today.
That shit is designed to lull you into a trance and send your emotions on a ride. It's a mind altering drug. It's not informative and maybe 1% of what's presented has some affect on your life, tops. 100% chance it will give you a skewed sense of reality though.. yet you get this impression that you'll be uninformed unless you pay attention to the programming.... because everyone else is watching, so...
But fuck that! If you have any intention to become a powerful, effective, and self mastered person.. then you need to stop handing your mental energy over to people who make a living sucking that energy out of you and keeping you stuck in fear and powerlessness. You will, in addition, need to stop hanging around other people who get stuck in mental traps like that ( your peers influence you more than you think )
Turn that shit off and make your life a news story of it's own. That energy is yours and you deserve it all for yourself. Don't give it away for free to politicians, celebrities, or whoever else thinks they're better than you, are more important than you, or think they have authority over you.
You were born for greater things than engaging in the spectator sport of watching other people make waves. Go make some.
