Well....I went cold turkey on Facebook. And I quite honestly....I am glad I did it. I was finding that the time I wasted on social media garbage, the more stressed out and angry I was getting. Here is why.
The biggest culprit was the trolls. Everyone and everything has an opinion and if you don't agree with these bastards, they usually went out their way to try making your life miserable by jamming up your twitter or Facebook page with nonsense and threats. Then they went after your followers and friends for agreeing with your post.
This habitual band wagon mentality gets really tiresome just like the politically correct bullshit. Most people in the world are social by nature and are pretty much sheeple. They follow the current fad, current protest, current candle light vigil, while in the meantime they honestly think they are making a difference. To be truly honest they are not. Most people follow the crowd. Leader's and leadership are being phased out at break neck speeds and when leadership rises up the social media crowd and news media crowd rise up and try to squash it.
We want to be lead but our way. If it goes away from their so called ideals, they cry, whine, and stomp their feet to get what they want. Sadly, they still won't get what they want. And if they do, what makes them think that their new leader would honestly do any better. Putting lipstick on a pig still makes it a pig. Just dressed differently but still the same drivel and bullshit. It doesn't matter if it is a Democrat or Republican in office, it still will not make problems go away. They need solid solutions, data and facts not hear say and bullshit.
Sorry, went off on a tangent there. Back to the topic. I went off the social media propaganda that I found the calmer me again. It's not for everyone, and it is extremely difficult especially since we live in a electronic society. But leaving it brought back sanity to me. We live in a really fucked up world and it goes out of its way to increase chaos and insanity.
My next move is to stop watching the news. Why you say? Because they have become just as bad as social media, if not worse at times. They incite the crowds and social media to react to their leftist agendas which many adhere and follow. The government loves this. The more that they get to follow their agendas, the more control they have over us.
To be brutally honest, we are losing more and more of our freedoms and rights. In Canada, they are attacking the freedom of speech. The way this current government is going, it is looking more and more like a dictatorship and honestly screwing the tax payers over by giving our hard earned money away to everyone but denying or helping the very people that need it in Canada...Canadians. Our current government will dole out billions of dollars for immigrants and helping other countries before helping it's own citizen's.
Do you now know why I have to stop watching the news? It's driving me nuts. And as many emails or meeting our MP'S or members of legislation, it all goes on deaf self serving ears.
So as I endeavor to walk away from mainstream media news...I hope to take more of an edge off my stress filled life. More to follow.....
