The News Media and The Real Everyday Life !

 The News Media and The Real Everyday Life ! 

I just  witnessed an experience where the news  media had one need and reality and the real everyday life had another !

The news  media was practically milking every drop and stretching the incident as much as they could to  prove their rating and coverage .

Well , that is how we are living in today's world .

The ordinary , average people have a very different way to the reality that they are seeing .

The news media with their breaking news items and other extensive coverage creates an interesting story to sell or to tell .

The people hear a news item and they accept it rather calmly and go about their day to day routine .

What can they do ? 

what can you do ?

I first sat glued watching the breaking news and all the non-stop news that just went on and on . 

The news media have a way of just going on with one new clip after another . One new interview after another .

It just gets so overwhelming and tiring that one is left exhausted listening and watching the media .

Thet have endless mini angles to the major event . Details of all sorts , experts are suddenly called from thin air to give their views . So many experts on every issue . Some agreeing and disagreeing to agree !

It is a news media circus !

I final sat and realised that if I don't take control of myself , they are going to pull me into their very strange and virtual world .

I switched off the news media !

Went out for a walk and a meal . 

People were walking about and doing their everyday stuff . They were doing their work as they did always . The shops were open . Customers came and went about doing their shopping .

I went to my usual eatery and had my lunch as usual without any fuss or excitement .

Yes , I did hear one or two people talk very casually and went on with their meals .

Walked back to my clinic and just sat down quietly .

The new media was closed . The people were out doing their everyday activities .

I just sat quietly and slowly drifted into my inner stillness !

Nothing seems to matter any more !

Life just flows on in its own usual pattern .

I got up from my quiet place and had a cup of  coffee . 

Listened to some soft music and wondered . 

Thoughts of this or that came and went .

I was again peaceful and enjoyed my present moment  !
There are so many levels to our experience in life .
After some understanding I come to the realisation that what is going to happen is going to happen .
Either I accept it or resist it .
Acceptance brings some peace and relief .
Resistance only further aggravates my peace of mind .
There is no simple way or answer most of the time .
Every one has their own perspective and will come to their own conclusions !
The news medis will have their perspective . It that the final truth or answer ?
Take care.
Love. Amar.
