A while ago I pretty much stopped watching television. Not entirely, but I decided not to view anything that includes violence – and that appears to be the bulk of the content.
Books seem to be going the same way – topics of murders, dystopian scenarios and vampires – adding to the feeling of overwhelming senselessness.
I found it was weighing me down. Furthermore, if I chose to view or read about violent acts, wasn’t I involving myself and condoning brutality?
For my own wellbeing I needed to get out. So I stopped.
I declared myself a violence-free zone.
It’s working for me.
So perhaps it will for the world.
Who wants to join me?
It’s easy. Just declare yourself a violence-free zone.
