There’s safety in numbers.
In thinking that you know what’s going on.
But what does reading the news actually provide you with?
What physical advantage do you gain?
If you aim for focus, why do you insist on distracting yourself?
There will always be deaths.
There will always be taxes.
There will always be rain.
News by the way, to me, is a synonym for Social media as well.
Focus is the strongest you have to stay where you are, watching how the world unfolds around you.
