We know that for us to have any respect or merit, we must follow the news
This is why we have surrounded our planet with satellites and wired it with fiber optic cables
We have set up networks of information offices to tell us obsessively
For any event unfolding in any part of the planet in the last few moments
In addition, we are also equipped with small devices that we have in their hands
And we examine it between every minute to five minutes (rarely lasts longer)
As if we wanted to watch the news that would be revealed as soon as possible
We booked the first seat to monitor the instantaneous flow of the date. So we are seeing more than expected
Surprisingly, we are also seeing less than expected. The constant presence of news in our external environment
Impede our own ability to pick a parallel and less important news source
We are by nature not equipped to look in our depths
Our eyes swaying like a small boat in a sea of emotions that are hard to evade
Many feelings and ideas require a high degree of courage to face them. It threatens to make us uncomfortable
Or harassed or abused when we try to learn more about them. So we use external news to silence internal feelings
Foreign news gives us the best of the virtual excuse invented so that we do not spend time roaming freely in our brains
Not that foreign news is not important to man
(Of course it is very important in the lives of some people in another continent
Or in a company in the capital or in senior government positions)
But this news is almost entirely away from our real priority in the coming years
Which is to seize our time and talents in the time left to us
It is a matter of how much curiosity we must offer to outsiders
But we are forced to pay a heavy price for this continuous dispersion of energy
We are dismissing fragile ideas that are hesitant about what we will do next
To whom we should call, what we must really do, ideas on which our future depends
Just to have more instant drama
But this drama will not save us or care about our evolution or our real responsibilities
It is counterintuitive, to think of things more important than the news
But it exists: It is our personal life that has given us an alarming, real causes and means
To avoid confronting them
We can educate ourselves about the art of staying calm
Not through a cup of tea or breathing slowly but through thinking. This book guides us to this process
