Modern media and social platforms make it feel like everything is worse than ever—constant conflict, division, and despair dominate the narrative.
This mindset isn’t new; yogi philosophers warned against mistaking temporary chaos for underlying reality.
Civilizations move in cycles—conflict and corruption are phases, not final collapse.
News media amplify outrage because attention and profit depend on it, creating chronic mental agitation and hopelessness.
Lived experience often contradicts headlines; everyday moments still hold meaning, beauty, and connection.
History provides perspective: persecution, corruption, and division have always existed—and often in worse forms.
What endures across time is basic human decency and the desire for peace, family, and purpose.
The antidote is long perspective: read history, step back from the news cycle, and guard your attention.
Doing so leads to calmer living and a better foundation for future generations.
