I feel as if there has been an ever growing sinister outlook on life lately, incredibly noticeable on here. Maybe I’m alone in this observation. It seems like there has been a great amount of threads specifically dealing with the doom and gloom of the world, politics, domestic issues, covid, etc.
What gives?
I’ve read plenty on here about the msm and how we need to unplug and turn off the news. OK, no problem. Why is it that those giving that advice don’t follow it?Instead they report on various negative topics from the “not so mainstream” media.
I’m sure we can all recognize that the pandemic era is coming to an end. This latest variant is less potent, the world is getting back to some kind of normal, we are surely to follow suit. We should all be in a lighter mood and focus more on our outdoor interests. But there still seems to be a battle brewing. Seems to me some people are just looking for a fight, maybe even hoping for one. Lots of provocation, from media linked posts, than fact.
If you turn off the media, you stop buying into the divide that both sides seem to be pushing.
Let thoughtfulness, logic and empathy be your guide.
