I’d encourage everybody to have a good think about what they allow themselves to view, listen to and read. I remember getting bowel cancer and consequently having 4 months off on long term sick. I joined Twitter out of boredom. I did the full journey in that 4 month’s without realising it. Joining an echo chamber of same views as me and being part of the attack pack when someone strayed into your space with a different opinion. I felt myself changing as a person for the worse. Needless to say I deleted my account and came off the platform.
Another Bluemooner already posted how some of us fell into believing the media hype in pre season. Before kick off yesterday they’d have you believe there was no point in City turning up at Stamford Bridge. As I’m doing less working from home and more sales calls I found myself in the car listening to all the guff. I knew it was guff whilst hearing it but it still infects you, for want of a better expression.
If you constantly take in the social media, tv, written press churn we are in the middle of a global pandemic with global supply chain issues, waiting for economic meltdown in the face of Chinese plans for world domination. Meanwhile the noble and gallant, historic football teams who play in red try to cheer us up by breaking the stranglehold of an evil oil empire.
If you don’t, its Sunday after a very good win. Looking forward to Paris and Klanfield.
It’s not easy. The biggest lie you can tell yourself is that you are unaffected by it. Look after your mental health and turn it off.
