Oooh you hit the nail on the head. I couldn't have said it better myself. Many times every day I hear someone saying 'did you know' or 'have you heard'. My least favorite intro to a conversation goes 'I heard on the news today...' fill in the rest lol. It's all meant to get you to feel a certain way and diminishes our ability to think or feel for ourselves. Lots of folks self medicate by watching the news, only to end up with psychosis.
Same here.
I guess people are attracted to 'drama' ( be it reality shows, the news, zombie apocalypse series, gossiping or whatever ) whether we are aware of it or not. It seems to temporarily make us feel better about ourselves but does it really benefit us in the long term?
That too. We tend to numb ourselves to not feel our pain and never learnt how to actually feel, it's the stuff that isn't taught in school or even by our own parents.
My father had a psychosis ( once or twice ) and was on anti-depressants for decades. I seem to have inherited his 'thinking' and 'feeling' and am doing the daily work to not end up like him and get sicker and sicker over time. Nature and writing/ expressing myself are too important ways of doing so.
Sending love!
Keep up that daily work, stay in the present and keep writing! We are not our mothers and fathers.
