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.
Congratulations to @jennybadger2 and @nancyCBr. Your questions were chosen for tonight’s Ask Kat and the Panelists.
@jennybadger2 What is your favorite memory from your childhood?
@nancyCBr What first world problem bothers you the most?
Ok one more but not mine. This one was told to me and worth sharing.
Two Alligators were sunning in the swamp shallows. One was much larger than the other. The little one said I don’t get it. We are the same age. We grew up together. How are you so much bigger?? The larger gator thought for a minute and asked —well, what are you eating? And the little one replied same as you, lawyers and politicians from the Courthouse over there. So the larger gator says how do you catch ‘em? And his little companion replied —I crawl up to the parking lot and get underneath a Lexus and I wait. When they come to unlock the car door I grab their leg and shake the crap out of them. Aha said big gator. That’s the answer. You are not getting enough nutrition because once you shake the crap out of lawyers and politicians, all that’s left is a butthole and a briefcase! 💼
Hey G2 ( @GregGutfeld )
Rush Limbaugh used to quote a statistic, wherein the top 10,000 tax payers in NYC, account for 40% of the cities’ tax revenue.
That number may be smaller now, but if only 2500 of those tax payers leave.
NYC is screwed.
Instituting a tax on ‘Millionaires’ and the general feeling of anti-Semitism is a sure way to get a sizable portion of that 10k to leave.
