RE: How I Experience 'Empathy'- the mind screwing type. Part 2.
It's one of the reasons I left Facebook (mostly) and my hubby gets so pissed off. Dinners and cats are fine, but post about bombing Syria or slaughtered dolphins? Ignored completely. Sometimes our mental health depends on turning off and tuning out the things you can't do much about - i know that for sure, and I've been better off NOT watching the news because it hurts me so. I figure I do the best I can to be a good person and make the world a better place by the things I CAN do. Wonderful post, lovely!
Thank you for taking the time to drop by and comment :)
Yes I do understand in reflection that it did upset people and it's not ok to shove your views in peoples faces. This all happened a few years ago and although I was very angry at the time, I know now it's not the best way to approach people.
We have cancelled our TV licence as it is just bombarded with negativity- which most likely is one reason many people turn to facebook- it is a form of escapism, and why they would get angry with me for bringing it there too.
Now we choose what we want to see on youtube, netflix, amazon etc and it feels much better!
