We live in a world with an outrageous amount of stimuli. Even if I try to remove myself from the constant audio and visual static that consumes our world I cannot. Even more, I am left feeling defeated. There are too many important happenings and situations occurring everyday, that I am disgusted by the amount of pop bullshit we feed to our loved ones on a daily basis. I apologize for never seeing an episode of Mad Men or Dexter. Removing television from my daily life was a step in the right direction, but with the added hours spent on the interweb, I cannot get around the static.
What is in life that is worth a damn then? The Earth itself, the people that inhabit the Earth, and the experiences we have while on Earth. Its not the TV show that matters, its the time spent with others while watching the show. Its not about watching the History Channel and then talking out of your ass, its about seeking out those with first hand knowledge of events so that you can truly understand the magnitude of said events.
I am by no means the model citizen. I struggle on a daily basis to find calmness amongst the chaos. This is my way of focusing on what I feel is important so I can stay rooted. There are plenty of distractions( such as the Shure headphones that just arrived in the mail today), but hopefully over time I can ignore them more successfully.
