Who's Controlling Your Narrative

Who is controlling the narrative in your life? The media? Social media? Are you able to navigate your life with very few distractions? And in a world where cameras are seemingly rolling in every direction, can people ever reconcile that human beings are inherently complicated AF? Today on the Spiritual Spiral, I am obviously disheartened and troubled by the direction our country is headed. We need to live in a world with less racism and less police brutality. I crave a world of equality where everyone has the same innate freedoms but I also want a world where people don't overreact, can think clearly and the response isn't more violence and egregious behavior. I talk about Martin Luther King Jr. and his legacy as well as the narrative swirling around that all police officers are bad. I talk about the ever-present dystopian world and try to examine this concept that no matter what we do, evil has this powerful way of blanketing the world. I also read an excerpt from Ezra Klein's latest book entitled, Why We're Polarized and I wonder if the media, whether consciously aware or not, is merely adding more fuel to the fire. If you enjoy the show, there are a few things you can do that would be incredibly helpful.
