whenever someone says to me, "did you hear about the...(fill in the blank with some terrible event)?" The first thing I say is, "do I want to?" That does throw them for a loop and gives me a tiny space to change the subject. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, but I think most of the time it makes ppl pause and think about what they're talking about, and they get the idea that not everyone wants to talk about terrible events.
Thank you! I don't feel bad about the Tsunami in Japan because there are so many other things to be happy about. And everyone calls me a dick but I don't care.
yeah, we can realize that the world is full of beauty. our choice. This is a part of being media literate, to realize the nature of the news, to accept the world, to live well being, and you don't even have to go on a media fast.
So true, I've been on media blackout for about seven years. I read selectively now, but any generic bad news I need to know about still manages to reach me. lol

Lovely picture - I don't give my attention to the TV news. It is not the route to better feeling feelings
