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.
