My husband is a massive consumer of political and economic news and sometimes I wonder if it hasn't dented his ability to be content. Then again, I wonder if we have a right to contentment when so much is going wrong around us. My gut tells me we have a duty as citizens of the world to be informed and use that information to make the best decisions possible about how we live our lives, including how we vote, what we buy, where we travel, etc. To be ignorant is to cede what little power we have as individuals, and that's no good. That doesn't mean you can't forget about bad news once in a while and party, party, party. :-)Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13432497142155757992noreply@blogger.com
