The Immunisation Of Our Senses

 We are constantly bombarded with news and views, images of atrocities, disasters and bad things.  It never ends does it?

Relentlessly wearing away at our inherent good nature and optimistic outlook on life we become immune after a while and it's all just dramatic bad news and gets worse every day.

I don't know if it is designed that way to wear us down or perhaps stuff is just that bad?  We appears to be run by morons too which doesn't help.  Apparently there's a plan.  A La Baldrick in Black Adder I imagine and I doubt it involves Turnips of any kind unless they too can be taxed at 100%.  Light is faster than sound which is why Ed Milliband always appears to be out of synchronisation and what's with the adenoidal voices these politicians have?  What's that all about are they really speaking down their noses at me or are they attempting to be the person at school who knew all the bus numbers and could tell you all the stops on route?

So - I am thinking about how I can disconnect from all of this stuff?  I did this a few years back now and just took a rest from social media other than just acknowledging birthdays.  I think that's worth doing again.  I haven't touched Twitter (my personal account) since then as it was fuelling almost a paranoia in me about things.  Full on conspiracy theorist even if most of it was based with one foot in fact.

I'm retired apart from the one project and I have time to do things but I still don't motivate myself about it.  There's big problems in my head about getting my arse into gear and doing something.  I find it difficult to actually motivate myself as many things do not interest me anymore which I find kind of sad.  I'm happy to sit here at the keyboard and at my desk doing nothing (really) rather than getting myself up, out and about.  I can do things but I just don't feel the need.

That's for me to work on and perhaps disconnection from the bombardment of my senses is the way forward.  I do tend not to watch the news and TV so much so maybe that will help me to break free?  O hope so, I know the problem, I just need to address it.
