Say it like it is…

I hate to start off with a rant, but it really (really) bugs me when I hear of some spiritual people always putting down media and show off their lack of interest in the news and current events. Are we not meant to exist in reality and be connected to what’s going on around us? how are we to relate to others around us if we don’t really understand what’s going on in the world.

ok I admit it, I’m a bit of a news junkie. I’m not suggesting everyone needs to be like me. But c’mon, a certain level of knowledge as to what’s going on is not only helpful but necessary. Plus, it might be a good exercise for those spiritual types to apply their knowledge and practices to remain strong and rooted in the now — despite the possibility of bad news, crime, wars, etc. We don’t exist in a bubble, this is life!
