Mud slinging, and soap opera drama

I am amazed when I listen to the news about the candidates who want to run for president and the news coverage of the drama.

Seems that Hillary wants to sling mud and everyone talks about that. Then they turn sides and say what's wrong with Obama that he doesn't sling mud back? It's seen as weakness that he doesn't play as dirty as Hillary.

We've seen this aspect of politics forever and I am surprised that more of us are not just plain tired of it and demanding cleaner campaigns.

I turn on my TV and scroll through my options to find that most are violent in some manner or the other. People are either screaming at each other blaming them for what's wrong in the relationship, or sharing terrible secrets that shock and awe the audience.

Then there's reality TV where people are pitted against each other in order to win the prize at the end of the show.

Many ask why TV and movies are so violent these days and suggest that it influences our children to act in violent ways.

I suggest that TV and movie reflects the masses. It's because so many people love the drama, that's why they use it for amusement on TV and movie.

When people get to watch the intense emotional drama of others it helps them to forget their own drama. It also gives them a feeling of being part of the “drama tribe”. They can point out that this is normal, it's the way it is. Everyone experiences these same situations.

By immersing ourselves in this intense emotional drama and conflict all day long, we tend to be excited by the problems of others rather than dealing with our own lives and making choices which change our situations.

So many have a problem with the Law of Attraction saying it doesn't work and they don't understand that it's working alright. Just look around you. The more our society focuses on “reality” the more reality of the same genre we get.

All this starts with the individual and then builds up to include more and more people, each adding more drama to the world. Families, groups, states, nations, then the world join hands in creating and sustaining the drama of war, famine, poverty, and disease.

If we take it back down to it's lowest denominator, one person at the time, and change our thinking which changes our feelings, which in turn changes our “reality”, we then make a different type of impact on the world.

Each of us gets to choose the energy we put out to the world and what it attracts back. Are you part of the drama or part of the solution?

I tell my 14 year old daughter and 6 year old grandson when they disagree this very thing. You can either be part of the problem or part of the solution.

We are part of the problem, the drama when we enjoy conflict as entertainment, getting pleasure from the hardships of others. It might make you feel powerful for a few moments.. problem is though it's like an addiction. It takes more and more of it to maintain these false feelings of power and control.

I notice on line that the blogs that generally get the most hits are the ones where emotions are most inflamed. People want to jump right into an argument and add more wood to the fire.

We can continue this rather than joining together to create solutions for our world at our own peril.

If we join together in gratitude and thankfulness, love, harmony and oneness we can and will find new energy sources that don't pollute. We will discover that there really is more than enough of everything for everyone.

We will discover how working together in peace creates more peace.

We can change the world.. but first we must change ourselves.

Blessings,

Donna
