Newsitis

Newsitis is the crippling disease that affects more and more people every year. They wake up thinking they are feeling good, even grateful for being alive and beauty seems to abound. Unknowingly, they walk out to the kitchen and without a moment’s hesitation their hand reaches for the remote and instantly they are stricken by newsitis. 

Their blood pressure rises, their forehead wrinkles and their eyes squint. The thoughts of gratitude and beauty, so fresh in their minds, are eaten away by every word from the TV. They turn from the TV and fire up their phone and laptop. More of the same! Confirmation of the sad, sad state of the world. 

Memorizing the news articles that are most inline with their cognitive bias, they look forward to spreading their outrage and distaste to anyone who will agree. Newsitis, a terrible affliction. Is there a cure?

Yes! The great saints, masters and enlighten ones have been touting the cure for millenniums. They don’t get much air time but their words can be found by any seeker. Their words are few but the explanation of their words are many. Forget the explanations and just read the few. Many are like this…

There is great love, light and beauty in this world. Focus on these things. 

Stay away from comparisons. You and everyone else are going to be different at different times. 

If you can’t find harmony, create it.

Don’t look back with today’s eyes and experience and judge your past. You didn’t have the ability to see the same signs back then as you do now.

Love everyone. Not for them but for you.

Know the difference between the good passion of creating and the destructive passion of destroying. They both feel alive.

When you get hurt, you can grow from the lesson without holding on to the pain.

Loving yourself means choosing better thoughts.

Never make a bad time worse.

Smile more. Frown less.

Newsitis strikes the unconscious more often than any other group. Don’t catch it and if you catch it don’t spread it. The right thoughts can cure you. Sit still with thoughts of love and betterment until it passes.You are love and love is your immunity.
