" A healthy ear can stand hearing sick words." - Senegal
There is more than enough bad news in the world right now, so watching TV should come with a warning - "viewer discretion advised." Yet, there is more good news that goes unreported than all the bad news we hear. But good news unfortunately does not sell products or gain our conditioned attention, unless the products that pay for the news programming promise that we will be changed by buying them.
When we turn our attention to the joy in the world, we start hearing about more of it. We develop a "healthy ear." Then, the "sick words" don't have the same affect on us, because we know that there is more to hear. We can put what we hear in perspective, and resist taking it into our soul.
