Spent this morning feeling defeated. Then I decided that no one except God can influence me. Prayed, took a nap and decided that I can choose what I see, read and hear now that this fraud has gone down.
End result - no more news, no matter what the network. I will be willfully ignorant and stick to this site, the Bible and family and good friends for info. Life is short and I refuse to be kept down. Feel happy and free. God is good.
I like the Stoicism, with not being forcefully controlled by the outside world. If you want to learn more about that sort of perspective (although not inherently based on God), the commonly recommended read is Meditations by Marcus Aurelius.
Thanks for the recommendation! Love to read anymore. Feel enriched afterward.
Happy to help, fren!
