RE: Afternoon Vlog - Trying to stay positive during these depressing times..
I feel we have so much technology and information travels so fast that it seems that things are worse than before when in reality it has always been this way. With the rise of social media we only see the extremes of life being blasted at us daily. Racism, mass murders, wars, and corruption has been around for 1000s and 1000s of years. It has never changed. All we are doing is putting a magnifying glass on it now.
Yea man the extremes are what get an emotional response. I try not to watch the news but I want to stay informed. It's a catch 22.
I feel you. You have to try and stay informed without them influencing the way you see the world. For example when my dad was watching the ID channel a lot, he would talk about how crazy the world is and how he does not trust anyone. I'm like it's not THAT bad. When he stopped watching it like he used to our conversations changed
Social media is indeed a magnifying glass. We are gratefull for it
I believe social media is good but it's also bad. It's a gift and a curse.
