Ever since I have dumped the news, social media, and other similar things, it has made me realize something. For so many years I have been in a box constantly being forcefed these stories of either misinformation or fearmongering; stories consistently drilling it into my head that if I didn't care, then I was a bad person, even though I had no control over what was happening.
If I had been given a button to either press for peace or war, I would've hit the button for peace without hesitation. All these stories were doing was deterring me from my own personal path of peace that I was always capable of taking; where I always had a choice in the matter.

This is why I only watch the weather section of the news, even though most of the time it's not really accurate. It really is unfortunate that almost every form of media today has a bad reputation, and sadly that won't change for a long time. Throughout history the human species has always been attracted to drama since the creation of yellow journalism, and even to this day we are still witnessing its effects, because the people behind the news know that citizens won't follow it if it featured actual information. Unless we change our attitude as a species, things will stay like that for a long time as the reputation of media gets worse and worse.

I will just focus on me at this point; what everyone else does is up to them.
