It's not just British media.. It is a global issue. For mass I would read tabloid. It's not difficult to see beyond that which some factions would like to focus our attention on and use ones common sense, and so reach a conclusion about what is likely to be truth.
I agree in part, I was thinking specifically of the British public and their retention of what the mass media within the country decides is important. This includes the general apathy many British people possess in believing what is presented either as facts or as evidence of what must be true.
I do agree it is also a global issue, but from what I have learned as a politics undergraduate is that the British mass media is among the greatest deceivers and manipulators of news in modern times.
Then we are all doomed. Despite my situation or maybe because of it who knows. I remain forever an optimist. No matter how bad a picture you like to paint of British media, (which for sure is far from perfect) it is not all bad and I don't believe we are in a worse situation than many other countries in the world. You insult a great many peoples when you imply we can't tell the difference between truth and media spin. Yes people have an agenda.. And a bias. It's clear you do yourself.. Not maybe agenda but for sure personal bias. Normal state for all I think.
Do you for example believe the people of the North African countries that in recent years had revolution ever had the truth from their media?
The world is doomed and everyone in it. No one can change that... It's only time. I do see what's going on and can see what role the media plays. The U.K. Is finished now and yes the media circus has a large part to play in that. See what you want to see you can read history how you wish to read it. It doesn't matter life continues. For me today I just don't care enough for the future to worry about it. So I move on as you say
Abu juwairya .. this - is what it is we see only in part. Until it is made clear. Till then we make of life as we will.
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned,but have not love, it profits me nothing.
4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails. But whether there areprophecies, they will fail; whether there aretongues, they will cease; whether there isknowledge, it will vanish away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.
13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
And we know God is love and that's all that matters. It's because man forgets this we go wrong. The media whoever.. All with agenda they live for today they seek to change what cannot be changed. So it's all for naught.. By their efforts as our own we are doomed. We should know in big scheme we are nothing
It's ok. I have it I am at peace in my life. Like sort of being resigned to whatever is my future. By letting go and relying on God in totality. Life is light. I was extremely disheartened by the recent political events in the UK and truly saddened by the role of the media. I watched like a powerless bystander as people were carried along by the wave of hatred, xenophobia and racism and knew the inevitable end would be what we now face. I felt like weeping at seeing the realisation of people that knew not what they had voted for and were horrified by the consequences. A friend said to me "don't sweat the small stuff.. Let go of what you cannot change. Leave it to the Lord He has it in hand" so I did. so.. What happens of man is nothing.. Even in our lifetime major events are consigned to history. Life continues, because that's Gods will and it's from Him that we find the strength we need to overcome adversity of our own making. It plays out at times like a comic opera, except that human suffering is for real. Yet, even that is transitory. Love, a two way thing. It has to be in order for it to mean anything, the verse above I feel encapsulates the concept of love perfectly. God loves me and I love Him back.Fine, I will, and I hope you find what you are looking for both here and in the afterlife.
Dear, no need for apology. Life is good. We must all make the best of it as we can.Thank you for your biblical quotation/s. It took a while to read and to digest fully for full comprehension, but understandable nonetheless. Thanks again and I wish you well. For all that I have said I wish to apologise if any of it hurt, that was not my intention and was not deliberate.
