De-Program Yourself

In today's fast-paced world, staying informed about current events has never been easier. With the constant stream of news available at our fingertips, we often find ourselves immersed in the stories that unfold before us. However, this constant exposure to news can have a profound impact on our emotional well-being, and it is essential to find a balance between staying informed and preserving our mental health. This article explores the idea of de-programming ourselves from the news cycle, altering our approach to consuming news, and fostering a more compassionate and peaceful response to the world's challenges.

We, as humans, are naturally compassionate beings. When we witness tragic events or unsettling news, our emotions can shift dramatically. It's a phenomenon many of us have experienced, whether it's the anxiety caused by a riot in a distant city or the sadness that lingers after hearing about a tragedy involving a stranger.

Recently, I found myself deeply affected by the news of a riot. The scenes of chaos and violence played in my mind, making it difficult to sleep at night. What struck me the most was the story of a driver who had been caught up in the riot while working and tragically lost his life. I couldn't help but wonder how someone risking their life to make a living could meet such a grim fate. My experience highlighted the power of news to disrupt our emotional equilibrium.

In our interconnected world, social media and news agencies play a significant role in shaping our perceptions of current events. While they provide a valuable platform for sharing information, they can also contribute to the amplification of emotions and the sensationalization of news stories. It's essential to be discerning consumers of news and recognize when a story is being exaggerated or sensationalized.

While it's crucial to stay informed about global events, it's equally important to cultivate compassion and seek peaceful solutions to the world's problems. The anger and frustration that arise from news stories should prompt us to consider alternative responses. Instead of perpetuating conflict, we can channel our emotions into efforts to promote understanding, empathy, and reconciliation.

Rather than allowing anger and frustration to spiral out of control, there are ways to channel these emotions constructively. It is possible for people to come together to address the underlying issues that lead to conflict. Imagine a world where instead of fighting, we showered each other with love and worked towards peace. In the midst of chaos, we can remember that every person involved in a conflict is someone's child, someone's loved one, and their suffering should motivate us to find solutions that protect and heal, just like a parent who shields their child from harm.

In a world inundated with news, it is essential to strike a balance between staying informed and preserving our mental and emotional well-being. We must de-program ourselves from the constant news cycle, critically assess the information we consume, and channel our emotions towards compassion and peaceful resolution. By doing so, we can contribute to a more empathetic and harmonious world where understanding and love prevail over anger and conflict.

De-program yourself – news, alter how you listen to news, uncheck, make your own news be what’s happen. Somehow, we are affected by the news that happens, we are human being compassionate, our mood shift. I wasn’t aware of it until recently, about the riot, couldn’t sleep well as the scene flickers throughout the night, (the driver who is working got slide into the scene, and eventually lost his life…..) how? He’s risking is life to make a living in the riot zone, and he’s life just end there? I didn’t really follow, but the social media and some other news agency was reporting about how terrible it is. Not that, we can ignore what’s going on round the world, but it’s all making the world, the people getting angry about it, and some of the news are exaggerate to an extent.

And of course, there are people who will stand up for it, unfortunately, things gone out of control. They shared the anger, and it leads to fight, is there a chance where they shower love, and let there be peace. (You are hurting someone’s child, just like a parent who protects you from rain and shine, today bleeding all over, just because he wants justice, right up to his doorstep.) There must be a way out.
