Are you an ostrich?

Tweet

I've been reading and posting, reading and posting and I find that I shy away from some things. Not just here, but in the world in general. I am one of those people out there who get so disturbed by what I see and read on the news these days. Always someone killing someone else, or abuse, or hate, or just overall violence. Does anyone else crave peace? I've reached the point where I guess I've come to terms that I cannot change what happens, so why do I have to be stressed out over what all the nuts in the world are doing to each other? Its reached the point where if I want to know the weather forcast I'll turn on the weather channel. If I want news, its there for me to read. If I don't feel I can emotionally handle it that day then I'll find something far more cheerful to watch, such as a gardening show. Everyone has views on violence, religion, war, capital punishment, politics, and so on. Me, I think I'll stick to being an ostrich and keep my blood pressure under control. Are you an ostrich or do you prefer to know all the gory details?
