Ignorance Or Bliss?

The news has me stressed recently.

I don’t watch news shows, I get all my news from more independent sources, mostly from Twitter. As I mentioned the other day, Twitter has been drowning these sources out in a puddle of rage.

It saddens me, because as an American, I think it’s critically important to be informed. An informed electorate is the bedrock of democracy, without it, everything else falls apart.

At the same time, I can’t see any more value in participating in this shit show.

Yesterday, I spoke to a friend of mine and he gave me some pointers that would cleanse my Twitter feed and keep it free from news and toxicity. In a short time, I’ll have my feed filled with entrepreneurship, writing, fitness, and positivity.

For the next month at least, I will be avoiding Twitter at all costs.

Now, I’m choosing bliss over ignorance. I’ll find a better way to be informed.
