excellent piece on social media and your thoughts

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.

This weekend...

As our thoughts and prayers and most eyes will be on the Memorial Events in Phoenix for our friend Charlie this weekend, we will also have 2 Gutfeld Live events that were already scheduled and will still be taking place (Allentown, PA and Foxwoods Casino in CT) for those who want to honor Charlie or show solidarity and remembrance in other ways - join us. Tickets are still available and we look forward to seeing you there.

Additionally, we are super psyched to announce that KAT TIMPF will be our surprise special guest in Atlantic City on Nov 22 so don't wait any longer to purchase your tickets. For Ticket info: www.GGutfeld.com/live

And lastly, if you've been waiting for an extra reason to become a Gutter Supporter...now's the time! We have some exciting information that we will be announcing in the coming weeks. Only Supporters will hear about it and get first crack at it!

Sincerely,
Team GUTTER!
