horoscopes
For my whole life, I have gotten enjoyment out of checking out the horoscope section of the local paper. I not only check out mine, but those of everyone else I can think of to see what type of day they are going to have. No, I am not a psycho who obsesses about them, but I enjoy seeing if they come true. I have often wondered how a person could predict for a whole group of people they haven't even met before, but sometimes they are true, other times, far off base. I look at them as an opportunity to take a tidbit of wisdom along with you in your day, which is always good, especially in this world where all too often the negative is what is getting the press.
I am the type of person who doesn't really have a use for a newspaper. I like the horoscopes, the advice columns, comics, crosswords, and coupons. That is about the extent of the things I like about a newspaper. I hate the news. I just think that it is always bad, and it serves no purpose to know all the bad things that happened in the world today. Some people tell me that it is important to be informed, but my question is why? Does being informed give you any sort of power to control the events and change them? Needless to say I don't think so. I think that feeding your mind full or whatever the government wants you to fear, just creates panic and worry and makes us powerless, not more powerful.
I am thinking about creating the Good News Newspaper, where I can tell people all the good things that happened in the world. You know, like what stars have successful marriages, and good lives, and people who help others and do good things and things about heroes. Think about all truthful news about all the good people and happenings around the world. Now wouldn't that send our government into a real tizzy. They would probably rip it off the shelves and consider it propaganda. It is my belief that what you put into your mind is what you get out, so why not input some good things and inspiring stories. The mind is a powerful tool, so be careful what you put into it.
