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 @SoCalMike. Your question was chosen for tonight’s Ask Greg and the Panelists.
@SoCalMike What sport do you wish you were really good at?
‘Democrats melt down, call for Chuck Schumer's ouster after deal to end government shutdown clears Senate hurdle’ - NY Post
Chuck is out of luck. Time to sit back and enjoy the Democrat infighting.
SS Edmund Fitzgerald was an American Great Lakes freighter that sank in Lake Superior during a storm on November 10, 1975, with the loss of the entire crew of 29 men. When launched on June 7, 1958, she was the largest ship on North America's Great Lakes, and she remains the largest to have sunk there. She was located in deep water on November 14, 1975, by a U.S. Navy aircraft detecting magnetic anomalies, and found soon afterwards to be in two large pieces.
These are the faces and names of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald crew, many of whom were veterans.
Just poked my head out the door, and the man who lives a couple doors down was out there shoveling our sidewalk! God Bless this snow angel! We are not that close, but the guys on the block including my husband take turns with the snow. He is younger than the rest and I feel blessed this morning, as my husband has a dr. appt as well. He must have seen that I had started my car.
