HOh, are you not angry? “It is something you heard recently.” How do you not talk about this all the time, how are you fun, some say stupidly, walking in your work as if the world does not feel like a coin in the 2P machine that tastes blood? “My answer: I have stopped the urgent news alerts. More than that, I fell short of the news that I have read greatly. How do I not feel crazy? This is the way I do not feel crazy.
Stay away from the news may be ridiculous and permanent of jobs that are recognized as a person used by a news organization. It may be unattractive or displayed, as someone lives at a time when the news is in currency and ignorance is fatal. But I saw the horror of people with red eyes immersed, I felt the heat of anxiety, burning the reflux of the spine, and I wake up alongside the thumb that dug deeper and deeper into the algorithms that we know better than private mothers, and it is likely to form who we have become.
I don’t want to look self. I still think we have a responsibility to avoid complete ignorance, participation, resistance and all of these things, to “stay aware” and stay awake to injustice, stupidity and slow slipping of democracy, and certainly I do not think everyone needs to extinguish the news. For many of us, staying awake in injustice has become a wake up all night as we fed our awe phones like geese. The chaos becomes a decisive part of a daily routine – you can check the horrors, clean your teeth, verify horror, wear children wearing clothes, a quick examination of the horrors while eating coffee, and go. Addiction also becomes – it looks like a lot happens and all the time, and there is afraid of losing something, which is an important thing we need now, for fear that drags us in broad daylight, returns, and returns to that. The tube.
And alerts, alerts! Alerts that act as a sharp pinch, to remind us that we can never relax, the alerts that keep us on alert, and we remain shaken on this frequency. Oh no, no. I see it all the time-at dinner tables and dinner tables, the low tinnitus for urgent news will lead to group periods, or dark “Oh my God now” with the hands reach to reveal what might be reports of the cannon on Manchester or the death of a beloved TV dog. All alerts seem to be the same, and our phones illuminate the same degree, whether the breaking news is killing, pizza, bombs, or prizes. People were not shocked by working workers five times a day with Silent Scream of News. And every time we think, is this? Is this the news that will destroy our lives?
Elsewhere, the sign of potential explosions leads to despair and fear to slight anger. Publishing on the Internet may scratch noisy itching, but, as with mosquito bites, it makes the sting worse. We have now seen how anger nourishes social media and their right -wing owners, who are pressing for more.
In addition, the more we publish, for example, the corrupt president, the more on the Internet on the Internet. It is similar to a sick mirror version of the experience of falling in love-everywhere we look at it, and everywhere we go to hear his name, and the more we read, the more reading, the terrible self-achievement cycle of dread.
I still care about the news, but I do not spend everything I have. However, conversations with friends begin with their tastes of disbelief and disgust, depending on how much news may affect them closely. Even when it is not the case, of course, it, sometimes, is in how their feeling of hope or morals is formed, and sometimes simply on how the increased influence of the news on their communication with their home life, their eyes stick to the disclosure of events, obsessed with a story that will never end. Worse than those conversations when I find myself in the midst of a news battle between two men, which is the speech of the day that was delivered through a party like spaghetti, their faces are wrapped in the amplified panic.
The goal, I think, is to stay in contact without having news. To stay aware, but do not swing anger. What is our benefit to the world if all our energy is lost in running through stories, instead of giving our time to the topics that interest us more? Some relief may come with a reminder that the act of reading news does not change it.
There may be a reasonable way to impose 10 -minute updates: reading the paper only in the morning, or instead of trying to drink in everything (a task creates a kind of terrorism your freezing on the edge of your bed where you sit, tremble in a towel), to focus only on one story corners. They say how you do not get angry, and if you want completely Madness, but instead of scattered anxiety, mines indicate in just one direction at one time. Better.
