The news is rolling over and feeding upon itself. There is a small respite in between the gross, the silly, the stupid.   It' like a kettle on the stove. First it starts to give off a little steam, its insides churning ever so slowly, then it's full speed ahead at a a raging boil.

And it continues its raging boil until we lift the kettle off the burner.    We fill it and set it down on the hot burner and it starts to boil again.  A pattern has emerged.      

We are, in a way, enabling bad things to happen.

I look at it this way...you think something long enough it will whole or partially materialize.

We are to quite an extent the rulers (thinkers and doers) of our own realities, thus the world.

When your mind is constantly subjected to the drone of bad news day in and day out, watching in horror at yet another senseless act and waiting for the next one, have you considered that you might actually be playing the role of enabler?

Have you ever really sat down and thought about all the harm bad news is doing to your brain?  Have you thought about all the negative news that your brain is absorbing as you watch one bad event after another?

If the collective news media were to shut down we'd not hear anything about anything.  If anything bad was occurring it was occurring in a vacuum.

No sound, no picture, just peace and quiet.

Time to read a book with the kids; time to sit down and enjoy a coffee; time to take a relaxing bath.

Time to thank G-d for His creation and the fact that we are here on this earth to elevate and empower the good within ourselves, not the bad.

No wonder we have so much trouble in our world, we are enabling the bad to grow and persevere.

Penetrating ever deeper into our psyches, dictating and making our decisions while it continues its incessant drone beat, ignoring the good that is all around us and within us.
