| Hey Stephen,Personally i don't watch or listen to any news clannehs as i like to limit my exposure to content i have little control over. I find the media is not accurate in it's portrayal of reality as it really is. Good news does not sell, bad news does. I would prefer to spend my time focusing on the positive. This is not to suggest we live in a perfect world where only good things happen, but to make the point that for every bad, there is much more good. The media in general does not create their stories around this truth and therefore i personally believe that the more people are subjected to this, the better chance their perceptions on the real world will be grossly distorted. This is just my opinion but one i strongly believe in. However, i know plenty of positive people who watch and listen to the news. It's not a rule that the news will affect you negatively but i really can't see how constantly subjecting our minds to biased negative media can have a positive affect on a persons subconscious.All the same, it's good to hear it doesn't affect you and in fact gives you room for contemplation and gratitude towards the people who are indeed suffering every single day.take care and have a good day.Declan. |
