Stream Thinking Is That What You Want

Stream thinking.,. The power of Now. The writing discipline is to give myself ten minutes. One page. No editing. Our greatest decisions are made in the moment of Now. Train yourself to be stronger in what is Now. Not any easy task in a world where everybody wants to build a relationship with this thing called the new normal. I want to understand it while getting it under control. We’re nearing the one year mark of the global pandemic lock down. Nothing truly feels normal except wearing masks, job loss, landlords wanting rent and the media’s continuation of pouring moving pictures and overzealous inflected points of view into our open minds and hearts. The media keeps pointing fingers at who should be blamed for inciting the Capitol riots in Washington DC. The media should also include themselves in the accusation. The talk show hosts on radio and television have spent the last four years forcing listeners and viewers to take sides. The media played the people and the people played the media. I’d love to see the research on how the 24 hour news cycle has poisoned the everyday world of the average person. Over and over they spouted their points of direction creating ample space for those receiving it to make up their mind. The media playing the people and the people playing the media. All sides are guilty of planting seeds of fear, doubt and uncertainty. The headlines endlessly changed but the story remained. Everyday people aren’t conditioned for this mental abuse of opinions becoming what millions call the real story. Inciting the riots in DC was the result of the media playing the people and the people playing the people. All sides involved know the way into other people’s hearts. It’s through weakness.
