The effects of negative information

Everything coming in your mind acts more or less strongly in your feelings one way or another. Don't be naive to believe you are able to manage the incredible amount of information you are exposed. You must absolutely choose what goes into your minds, you must avoid exposure to negative sources of information which are not entertainment or educational.


Life must be lived with a sense of pleasure and for evolution of the human race. Any other goal in life should be consistent with these two principles, but it's very difficult to achieve it when you allow any kind of information reach your mind. Deliberately I subtract any reference to any concept of faith or religion in this set, if you like to include it, it blends very well in the evolution of the human race, unless of course, it's a regressive or closed faith or religion.

Feeding your mind is not a simple task, it's not easy to choose the information too receive. Most of the time we received this information involuntarily and without supervision or even any choice. Meanwhile, a large amount of information we received is entirely under our control, such as television news, newspapers and even at some extent what is available on Internet.

Many people attribute their depressive, negative, and angry feelings at their childhoods, their financial situations, their social contexts and even to their spouse. Reality is probable a part of that, but for most of us, it's mainly the fact that the information we receive on a daily base feed these feelings. Worse, many people develop new problems which are not even part of their lives, in other words, they invent new problems.

You really have to ask yourself serious questions about what you listen, read and look and the harmful effects of these negative information are real.
