Season over before it starts

We aren’t obligated to act with outrage with every ridiculous thing the media comes up with. They won’t solve anything for us, we’re responsible for that.

Sometimes I wonder if the media exists solely to sow discord among Americans for profit.

We all know subconsciously that forcing an issue never ends in agreement. An argument doesn’t aid a negotiation but actually hinders it, because it devolves into a win-lose power struggle — which engages our ego, which is so powerful, some would actually risk death than concede. It’s a fact backed up by actual brain scans.

Point is this, we’ve got two ears and only one mouth for a reason. If you can’t listen and validate each other before shutting down and blowing up in spectacular fashion, then what’s it all worth? Just take my freedom now in that case.

But people have ten fingers and a keyboard! They can rant with no consequences for their mindless ramblings. Just get on social media and say what is on your mind. It's good to move communication forward right?

Swear to God it’s like road rage.Ive cancelled all my social media accounts except Facebook because I need it for business. I did a mass purge on my personal account and don’t even look at it anymore.
