All Things Relative

I was looking on Roadrunner this morning and they have news blurbs, as if we don’t have enough places to read news, I noticed what I felt was an odd flashing of very different things all simultaneously.
The first news blurb was about a woman who had her face axed by her brother and the next thing is a beautiful picture of the princess.

So who cares? What’s the problem? To me it’s the realization that we are constantly bombarded by media; violence, beauty, murder, rape and tabloid trash- everything rolls at us in a whirlpool. It’s hard to decipher what is real or fabricated and our emotions are in a constant switching between sadness and horror, beauty and discordant emotions.

From a strictly unprofessional observation, it is no wonder most of us are on some sort of antidepressant or mood altering drug. We are constantly being overwhelmed with emotions, images we shouldn’t probably see-both violent and bordering pornographic, mixed with the tabloid garbage and images of societies’ view of beauty and what is expected. Our brains are constantly switching from all different emotions meanwhile we are yanked around by the media by fear and apprehension of impending doom-it’s no wonder we aren’t all crazy-all things are relative who knows how to live or react to the outside stimulus that we can barely escape from on a daily basis.
