Maybe too much information is accessible to quickly&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;for us to absorb all at once and now we feel we are forced to keep up and keep using it?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Maybe we are watching too much t.v.?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Is there too much negativity that we are absorbing through media?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Do you not feel the negative tone around the world? Or is it just me?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;How much of the media is about war, money or hardships?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now... how much of it is positive?  What do the majority watch?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What do your friends watch? What do your co-workers watch?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Similar kinds of programs for the most part?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What kinds of video games are most popular to kids? Its mostly angry stuff!!! Isn't it?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Does all this negativity then become part of us? We see other people getting&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;angry in a situation so then that gives us the green light to do it to someone else?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Since when did we become so impatient? Hmm...... technology?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;One suggestion... turn the t.v. off for one week. Try it. Paint something or do a project.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Turn your computer off for a couple of days. It won't go anywhere! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Turn your cell phone off! It has become the cigarette form of technology.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Get back to the basics. Read a good book. Go for an enjoyable walk or visit your peaceful place. If you don't have a peaceful place then it is your mission to find one!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If someone gets under your skin for any reason, traffic, ATM machine line-up, grocery store line-up, whatever, think of how that will affect you a year from now. If it won't, then you have no reason to worry about it. Then, think about your happy place. Breathe...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You will realize how short life is when you reach the end. Don't be in a hurry to cross the finish line!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Give me some feedback. I appreciate you taking the time to read the blog.
