Finding essential truth involves uncovering who you really are.
Instead of connecting with ugliness; connect with beauty.
You don't need to be entertained; life is your entertainment.
In the way that all environmental factors shape us, you are being shaped to one degree or another by violent entertainment.
The media is a weapon pointed at your consciousness.
The more I avoided violent and manipulative entertainment the more things changed for me for the better.
Realizing there was enough real horror in life, I decided to distance myself from unnecessarily created madness.
Even if violent entertainment does not shape us at all, it is still an expression of who we are through our interests.
Violent entertainment is absorbed, and while we may disagree about what happens after, it is assimilated by the consciousness.
Many psychological and spiritual problems are really just forms of consumption illness. Through unwholesome consumption, the beauty within begins to diminish as we are consumed by what we feed on.
