News fatigue
I know it's hard these days to read a newspaper, nearly as hard to watch TV news or even -- heaven! -- blogs and news Websites.
Lots of people I know are discouraged and tired of it all. How long can you tolerate the continual reports of bombings and dead soldiers and civilians in Iraq, let alone the posturing and strutting in Washington? But here's something worth reading. San Francisco Chronical columnist Mark Morford asks, Do You Suffer News Fatigue? Sick of dour headlines? Too much Bush and war and death and homophobia and Bush? You are not alone.
...This, then, is the irony. Because now is the time when vigilance is needed more than ever... ...Know that this is not you. Know that you do not have to kowtow and you do not have to succumb and you do not have to bury your head and merely endure. Know that you have this one humble and luminous choice, always and always and every single day: no matter if it's dark energy or light, low vibration or high, raw intimate self-defined sensual divinity or dumbed-down numbed-out force-fed conservative sanctimony, you can either trust that truth and follow your own hot moral compass, or allow it to be stained and warped and doused in fear and led wide, wide astray. It's not about them. It's about you. (Via J-Log.) posted by liz at 1:25 PM
