Talented nerve workers
There is a group of people in this world who know how to regulate your blood pressure through talk.
In their youth they may have stumbled upon their abilities by accident and through the years found they had an ability to regulate people’s nervous systems by what they say. This group of people with this special talent found people would pay money for their talent hence your modern day Mainstream Media (MSM) commentators and pundits whose talent is encouraged by their salaries and environments. You have your Michael Jordan’s and Ethel Merman’s of commentators and pundits. They have become some of the most priceless real estate of the American oligarchy and they have been right under our noses all the time. Talents in full sight and sound.
One must not forget a talent is usually a God given gift and the abilities to regular ones nervous system was God’s gift to them. No argument there. Also we must not forget there are gifts that can be used for the good of both the possessor and the enlightenment of others. For sure just as we have talented ministers, artists, writers and public speakers. Within each circle, the truly talented one can be identified and so it is with commentators and pundits. Still no problem.
I was not interested in seeing any talk show programs today and I find it easier and easier not watching them. I do not make a conscious effort but I just do not become interested enough to tune them on. This has gone on for several months now, for at least a month I am sure.
This morning, going through the living room on my way to the kitchen, a talk show was on wherein the moderator asks one of those questions accusing Sen. Obama of being the perpetrator, why his poll numbers were down or something like that. I forget the exact question and I do not want to remember what he said but something hit my stomach so hard I honestly had to take my medicine to calm down. I was on the brink of hysteria and I try not to get that way. I go from panic to stalk raving mad in five seconds and have been forced to develop certain defense mechanisms. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don’t. (Smile)
I said to myself “Aha! I just caught your ass, you bastard!” Those were my exact words! Those host and pundits deliberately say something so backwards in logic that your mind has to take so much energy defending the fallacy or preponderance of fallacies that your mind eventually tires and succumbs to the process or has the violent reaction as did mine this morning. A well placed sock to the groin!
It is when your mind puts up the resistance that your blood pressure goes up and other mean things happen to your body. I am therefore convinced: Talk media can be bad for my health. In hindsight, I remember reading a diary just the other week regarding my experience. Naturally, it was not written the same way but the thrust was there.
This is the first time I have been conscious of anything like that physically and mentally happening to me. Could this be why many people are becoming so increasingly angry and callous in their relationship to others? Manufacturing scapegoats and enemies? Young girls getting earlier menstrual periods and the like due to their lack of defenses to this bullshit?
I am mindful when something I think was upsetting to the old folks and ask them what they thought about it, they would simply say, “Well?”
As always,
