This is so true and we are all guilty of that short answer or horn honking at any given time. Give people a break..….you never know who's around the corner when you need a kind word.

Yes, people seem to feel that they have permission to go off on anyone, anytime. In business they say the tone of a corporation is set from the top. In our country's leader we have the example of self-dealing run rampant, narcissistic self-preservation and a loose relationship with the truth. Thank you for being a journalist. Someone needs to point out the emperor's lack of suitable covering.

I don't know. Aside from my local paper (keeping up with who died seems like) I source all my new online nowadays but - eclectic mixed coverage sources, and while I do look at the partisan extremes for balance.... mostly I stick in the middle. I also stay away from cable networks lol. I see it: I get why people are losing faith in the fourth estate, there is a rising tide of partisan journalisim that concentrates more on the how we would like you to feel coverage of events than balanced factual reporting. Truly it does scare me.... it's the complete and utter doctrine of propoganda a la Joesph Goebbels, Felix Dzerzhinsky, with a whole heap of Nietzshe based psy-ops tossed in. And people know.... they don't know what the truth is, but they know that whats being presented is... slanted for effect, they can tell they're being lied to. Intolerance and the dissemination of hatred have become big business - no longer just the tools of governance. What really freaks me out right now is that theres more coverage given to a couple loud mouthed democratically elected politicians than there is to whats going on in Hong Kong or Turkey. Hong Kong is going to get messy as shit, similar to Tienanmen if I read it right.... but it'll be short, bloody, and everyone will pretend not to see. But Turkey?? NATO member engaging in another armenian solution... with a border with a big bear who likes his backyard quiet.... That one is a worry. Maybe people go off about the little stuff because its all they fell able to control? In any case... sorry you had to wear it whatever the reason.

Sorry somebody took out their vexation on you. General Douglas MacArthur had a lot of faults, but one good trait he had was his practice of writing letters to people who annoyed him that expressed precisely what he thought of them... and then balling them up and throwing them in the trash, following which he wrote a polite, conciliatory letter. I try to follow his example in that regard. I don't succeed as much as I would like. namaste~

Sound advice and excellent comment feedback. It's a hard, confusing world out there. Especially lately. My philosophy for dealing with it is three-fold. One, take it one day at a time, doing the best you can as a human being functioning and interacting in this world, always being true to yourself. Two, find humor in everything, even the sad things, and use it to insulate yourself from what would otherwise be irresistibly galling, And three, think before responding, and let all the things you're grateful for envelope you in the knowledge and feeling that, no matter what happens, the universe is trying real hard to work out. There is a fourth, which I mostly keep to myself. I'll tell you, because I think you'll understand. (It's complicated.) Four, there are universal things that are good, and universal things that are bad, and lots of other things that are in between, defined as "guilty with an explanation." Use your gut feeling and embrace the good, avoid the bad, but not so much so that you are afraid to speak out about it. And for all those other things that are in between, listen to their stories, try and understand them, and forgive them where you can, then go somewhere quiet and have a nice orgasm.
