There are certainly pieces of media, of this world, that may have influenced how I see things. A search in that direction could result in a lengthy and rambling list that has produced some, yet overall, minimal impact upon this stoic. Not today.
Sorry about that Moe, Larry and Curly.
In all honesty, it has been a peace not of this world that has forever changed the way I see things.
Through that revelation, media and all its inherent iterations of this world will never be regarded as before, at least by me. Sure, they can bring some joy and happiness. But of late, and due to their current iterations, they become simply a distraction.
And this is a good thing.
For now I can discern, comprehend and appreciate the origin of genuine, honest and lasting change. Not to be found in a piece of this world.
But peace not of it.
And that makes all for the better.
