Being oblivious to the news and the terrible
stories in the news frees a person from
the tensions and the turmoil always
happening in the world.
It’s easier to be happy when not consumed
with all the negative news.
Perhaps fewer trips to doctors,
less high blood pressure and legitimate depression,
maybe less heart attacks and strokes too.
More blissful moments in ignorance,
less outraged moments,
more peace of mind.
A happier life without the truth,
probably dying peacefully in sleep.
Bob Boyd
