if you're into meditation, you'll probably enjoy this piece a lot.
if you're not into it, or you plan on responding below in a way that suggests you didn't read the article -- you'll appear somewhat as proof of what the article contends. but even if you don't meditate or even spend time on social media, you'll completely understand the weird physical feeling you get from a disturbing thought (a remembrance of a past embarrassment, for example), and the similar feeling you get when you are hit with a tweet (or whatever) that irks you.
the analogy fits: the feelings arising from thinking a troubling thought are almost no different than the feelings arising from reading an upsetting tweet.
the conclusion is to operate social media the same way you monitor your own thoughts - which is to examine what the thought might actually be, and then disarm and discard it. which is what one does often in meditation.

@Steve-Allen
What person did you realize that you totally misjudged after meeting them?
What is something stupid you did as a teenager that still scares you when you think about it?
Congratulations to @Junemarie53 and @NJFLA. Your questions were chosen for tonight’s Ask Greg and the Panelists.
@Junemarie53 What book were you forced to read for a class book report that you hated?
@NJFLA What’s something you grew up with that kids today have no idea about?
I'm going to take a sabbatical from The Gutter until after midterms. I already suspect what the outcome will be (without the SAVE Act) and believe, at the very least, that the Dems will regain the House.
So I've decided to take the next 3 months away from news/social media to enjoy this free and prosperous America before it returns to the Dark Ages again.
Hope everyone enjoys the rest of the summer! 🌞😎
Just drove through the worst thunderstorm that I ever have. That's because I was riding with my sister and her family and my brother-in-law refused to pull over, even when visibility was zero and he kept driving through water that was splashing over the hood of the car. I kept telling him to pull over but he wouldn't. Finally, I yelled and he listened, but only for a few minutes then back on the road we were, following along with the path of the storm. Again, I insisted that we pull over and wait it out a little. What an effing nightmare! We had met my other nieces for lunch and it was as nice lunch and had a great time but on the way home, it started storming. I am only home safely by the grace of God. WTF is wrong with people???
Oh, if only...And let this be the last time. ..(2)
