More often than not, Facebook and other social media sites are full of politically fueled rants. A few years ago I stepped back from watching the news. I was fatigued by the bias talking heads that argued their point at nauseum. It became pointless trying to listen when everyone talked (or screamed) over one another until everything was unintelligible. What is the point? I now read the headlines, look at different viewpoints and filter it like this..... There is this side, there is that side, and someplace in the middle lies the truth. Here's a radical idea. What would the happen if mankind looked at life through a wide angle lens? How would our lives change if we stopped being spoon fed by the media? Through personal experience, my life has been a lot more peaceful. I'm informed, but I'm not engrossed.
The world will always be in crisis, be it health or otherwise. There will always be injustice. I find it hypocritical to be outraged by one injustice and not another. The only thing I can do, is spread as much positivity and love as humanly possible as long as I walk this earth.
- I can be kind
- I can be understanding
- I can be informed
- I can reach out in love
- I can offer forgiveness
- I can make a difference through peace
- I can be different than the worst examples of humanity
- I can be a light in a dark world
I cannot right all of the wrongs and correct all the misinformation, but I change the way I react to it all. I choose to stay positive and full of compassion and I wish more people would do the same.
