  • I don’t watch the news, because it’s not like you get unbiased facts - it’s the entire behavior of the news anchors and the people, and the editing, that creates a form of programming of people’s minds.

    It’s also almost 100% negative. And you can’t affect anything.

    I guess people watch it because they are scared of not knowing what’s going on? I don’t need to know what’s going on. If I lived in Thailand, I would miss all western news and it wouldn’t matter at all. So why not act like I live in Thailand.

    Let me know if the news ever help someone feel better about themselves, or how to get better relationships, how to love people more. Because that’s what my life is about. And how to have fun. :)












  • Not to me, it just sounds normal. The reason people feel apathy is because there is a difference between expectation and reality that is very big for them.

    It’s the thought of “I need the world to be different for me to feel good” that is causing the apathy. You can change the thoughts on this and feel much, much better by being very grateful for having so much choice as a human being to find things you enjoy.




  • It’s from experience. Older people know this world well. Doesn’t matter what you vote for, power stays with corporations.

    Young people tend to believe you can change things by voting, which is naive and a bit cute.

    I used to feel apathy until I realized there is one thing I can control - me. I can choose to do fun things, replace bad friends with new ones, learn new skills, grow as a person. I can put my phone down and read books and stop watching social media and porn. I can change who I am right now. And I will feel good from doing so.

    The society will stay the same, but my perception of my life will be enjoyable, which is all I can actually do. You don’t have power over anything except yourself. Once you get that through your head, you understand how to not feel apathy anymore.
