I don't do the news or keep up with anything going on. Just the huge hype with incoming hurricanes can make me over worry. Yes, I need to be aware, but not focused on it. The hurricanes tend to stay more south and I am more inland so I'm good. But the media will get hold of it and make it sound like we are all going to die. It is like this every time one starts heading for FL. It is going to be cat 5 at landfall, flooding, evacuations..... in realty, it ends up blown up way to big. Anyway, I don't need the borage of all that is going wrong. For me, in this case, ignorance is bliss because my mind likes to go with it. So, no, I don't think you need to bother yourself with what is going on in the world. Take care of you and the things that you are able to directly influence. Except the things you cannot change, change the things you can, and discern the difference.
