The repetition in the public media pounds on one’s head. After hearing a statement it is repeated ad nauseam. This has entered our culture and we are subjected to redundancy throughout our lives. If speech were short, sweet, truthful, and compassionate our lives would be improved. As we speak to each other let the principles of kindness, brevity, and truth prevail. Mutual respect brings happiness.
Yes we all need to turn off the major public media. Things I actually like to read:
