I constantly get told to “stop thinking so much.”
1- it’s not something I can control
2- why should we NOT think?
The happiest ppl are the ones who don’t think too much, think too deeply, or are plagued by things that “don’t concern them.” (ie poverty, discrimination, injustice, wars in the Middle East, murders, deaths, etc).
And I know many of these ppl. These ppl just couldn’t give two shits about anyone or anything other than themselves. Selfish ppl. That’s MOST Americans.
What is one to do? I can’t join the Sheeple, pretending everything is fine or pretending things going on in the world or in my own state don’t bother me. It does.
But I’m miserable being me. Being aware. Being well informed about politics, economics, news etc.
I don’t want to be an ignorant idiot. But is that the only way to be “happy??”
