For those of you who call yourself or think of yourself as enlightened...

Please take note of the parroting of whatever the mainstream media puts out. Do you notice the effects?

Take note of the daily vocabulary of people changing based simply on what the mainstream news repeats endlessly. Then the alternative media repeats it too. Keep an eye out for the latest movies and TV series lingo as well.

Being that I've had the opportunity to step away from all this banter for an extended period of time... coming back to it is turning my stomach. @lukewearechange just mentioned the effects of staying away from the news feed for an entire week. His comments on coming back were... "It's crazy!"

Stress is probably the biggest determinate to illness in people. This constant repetition of whatever the media says... whether in the form of a news story, a movie or a series... isn't healthy in my opinion and people should really take some time to step away and examine the effects on their life and the lives of others around them.

Please, if you have to worry, worry about the things that matter, things that you have some involvement in... the relationships you have with others, for example.

Just as a case to study and examine... it appears to today is the beginning of another parroting exercise that may rival the Trump phenomenon of the media in 2015. This time it's Oprah.

Let's step above the madness... remind folks... don't be a parrot!
