I awoke early this morning, heard the news then dozed off – and then woke to hear the same news again. It had not improved….it always seems to get worse. We have too much information now, we know about all the wars, murders, rapes, and corruption in every country. We are not designed for this, it leads to empathy fatigue and emotional burn out. The Buddhist monks have the right idea – listen to the news no more than once a day, or preferably weekly. But I have become addicted – and get restless if I don’t have my news fix. The IPad does not help by bursting into dramatic music every time there is breaking news, usually announcing that some unknown by me celebrity my age has died. Gate gate paragate parasamgate bodhi svaha! Go beyond, more beyond, absolutely beyond, wake up and laugh!
