MAINSTREAM MEDIA VERSUS ALTERNATIVE MEDIA

I keep on hearing the misconception that main stream media is one sided pushing its opinion on its viewers and that alternative media always offers a raw view untainted from reality of whats happening in the now without personal bias and judgement. Whether it's mainstream or alternative media both are edited news platforms pushing a narrative and both still have an agenda because there is no such thing as an opinion without bias. We make our opinions based on own bias, whether we make it based on the little information we see or we make our opinion on what we didn't see its our own wants and needs that is steered by our own bias. It is impossible to get the whole picture because we can't be involved in every part of the situation so we have to rely on the little information we get which usually involves us digging deep from within our own personal experience and using our wits to work out what is the closest truth and make a judgement call that we use to back up with our own bias opinion. Those who get manipulated by false news let themselves be manipulated because it is their defence mechanism that protects them from making their own mind up and then they can blame those who pushed them on the wrong track because they were misinformed. 

WIKIPEDIA TOLD ME SO

Frustrations are felt and shared by so many, whether you have a small business, or your out of a job the current situation can be frustrating for all of us who've been affected by covid. At the top of the frustrated list would have to be nurses and doctors who's job is to help the community stay in better health even though some of the community are fighting with the government and believe that health devision is going against their interest. When you lose your faith in doctors and the health system you may as well put your faith in someone who is practicing medicine without a licence. Most people will listen to those who have studied a profession that they themselves know nothing about rather than relying on your own research on Wikipedia.

DONT LOOK, BUT LISTEN

Whether or not you like the person or group speaking if you ignore who is speaking because of your feelings towards the speaker you may miss out on the validity of the point being made. If you listened to what was said would your opinion change or does it matter more to you who is speaking than what information they are trying to relay. A bad person can still make a good point. You don't have to respect who they are to see merit in what they say. You need to be bigger than your emotions to grow with the wisdom you may be missing.

MIXED PROTEST MOTIVATIONS

The problem with some of the protestors is that their motivations dont always correlate some of them are their to fight, some of them are their to take selfies so they can get hits on their social media sites, some of them are deeply frustrated and believe that it's the only thing that they can do to show the government what their feeling. Whatever kind of protestor you are, maybe you should ask yourself other than the police and yourselves that have been injured kids have also been hurt in the cross- fire "Are you actions achieving your desired outcome?". Some parents have made the decision to bring their kids to the fight that they stand for knowing that it has put their kids in danger of being hurt because now they are a part of the mob and because of the mix of motivations and limits that vary the troubled protestors will push in a way that will effect the peaceful protestor. If you want to make a stand for your belief choose the right people to stand with, those who are liked minded.

NACOS 2015-2017 (NETFLIX ORIGINAL)

Narcos tells the true-life story of the rise and fall of the kingpin Pablo Escobar. It centers around Steve Murphy, a DEA agent sent to Colombia on a U.S. mission to capture him. This blockbuster series is a must watch for anyone who wants a little truth in a crime thriller. Once you start this series you can't stop yourself from binge watching this because each episode is as adictively exciting as the next.  I give this series a two way up thumbs up.

LIMITED FREEDOM

You are not born with freedom unless you are born in a country that offers freedom within it. Freedom comes at a cost, it isn't free unless you live on your own on a secluded island that you own. Freedom comes at a cost of your allegiance to the community you are a part of. If your freedom of right affects someone else's freedoms, yours would be taken away. Freedom is given to you and can be earnt by your following of societies rules. You break the rules you break your power of limited freedom.  If you think you should have freedom because it's your basic human rights then what makes your freedom different from others who have been affected by your choices. Freedom is the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants. "we do have some freedom of choice" but not at the expense of the society that your a part of. If you don't like the rules governed by the society you are a part of move to a community that you believe has your interests best at heart. Good luck in finding one that will make you and your neighbours happy hoping your happiness aligns with your neighbours. You can not expect to take advantage of the freedoms that the government provides you but then be able  to hand-pick the rules you accept and ignore the remaining implemented rules without consequences.

THE SANDMAN

The story is epic but adding sound effects has brought the expierience to a new level. This Audible book makes you feel that you are listening to a blockbuster movie. The story holds your attention and listening to the dramatic sounds combined with the acting paints a clear picture of a worthwhile expierience that you must take.👍 

MYTHOS

This book made me a fan of Stephen Fry. He modernises Greek myths in a way that only he can do. I learnt that Pandora's box was misinterpreted and was supposed to be Pandora's container. He masterfully entertains you with a collection of story's that helps you understand the essence of greek myths. 👍 

BOBIVERSE

This collection is an amazing read. Not only are you immersed in a deep science fiction story where alien worlds and space battles entice your imagination but also the protagonist Bob who is funny and a stand out character grabs your attention because of his vulnerabilities chooses to cryogenically freeze his corpse in the hope that advances in science would one day allow him to be woken up and cured of the conditions that killed him but finds himself waking up in a way he never prepared for. 👍 

TIME RESTRAINTS

Our time restraints force us to make decisions on how we should spend our limited time. Whether your making big decisions that change how your live your life or small decisions that affect how you spend your day both choices work together in keeping you level headed. We may spend some of our time doing what others may see as trivial but what seems a waste of time can be as important as the tasks that are life changing. Our time is comprised of what is important to us and because we are very different from each other it can be hard for people to look past our differences but where we may differ with our choices our common desires are the same. We desire to be happy and how that can be reached is fulfilment. What gets you through the day is as important as where you want to be and remember all work and no play is not good for the soul.
