We subconsciously maintain a state of readiness to counter any possible eruption of anger. This alerts us instantly once aggression flares up in our environment.
The media scrupulously exploit this readiness to make money off us. They hijack our attention by showing much carnage and violence - only to trick us into watching commercials for dog food and soap-suds.
This endless inflated focus on violence feeds deeply back into society. It conveys aggression and violence to be a means to achieve fame. When we are violent enough, we become 'news'.
There's only one effective way to neutralize this destructive influence: - rigorously remove all such media from your environment.
There's aggressive energy inherent in all new creation - inventions, works of art, styles, more efficient ways of organizing etc. This 'natural aggression' gives 'The New' a chance to succeed against 'The Old and Established'.
The difference between this natural aggression that accompanies everything new, - and anger and hostility on the other side is the mood we feel inside. Creative, new things are driven by inspiration, while anger is always driven by a distortion of inner judgment.
To distinguish between these two types of energy is also part of this challenge.
