Are we becoming desensitized by all the violence in the world?

[missmuffet]

Are we still as shocked as we were at the beginning of all the violence in the world?When something happens that I think is the worse I have ever heard something comes along to beat that.

I think perhaps sensory overload is occurring. Not desensitized but just overwhelmed.

I agree.  You could say that the world is becoming "Comfortably Numb".

Good morning BoBeep  

 

We are being overloaded with bad news and I believe our body is getting numb by hearing so much ...we have to be careful as Christians and care and pray for those situations when we read or hear them,what if it would involve your family? You be devastated~~

If we would replace ourself in so many other situations what some people are going through we might more realize how blessed we are and pray more~~

We in the U.S. have been taken by a very intelligent enEmy. They are as lost as lost can get, as they do not know God, but very intelligent none-the-less. They have been raised by terror, live by terror, live in terror. This gives them a resolve to do as instructed with great, great dedication. And one of thEir jobs is to overwhelm the American citizen in every emotional and moral way so that when the time comes, for the most part, we'll all cower to the enEmy and be herded in whatever direction with the greatest of ease.

 

Every time something bad happens... even the remotest, isolated incident, the media of the enEmy will make sure it has hammered us until our emotions have completely shut down. And tHEy multi-task while tHEy work, causing as much anarchy and discontent as possible also. Our emotions... our hearts... our minds... have limits on the "bad" things we can take in. It becomes a matter of survival and the mind just will not accept anything else. And then when we find ourselves confronted by this same eVil? We will cower in hopelessness because in our minds, there can be no victory. We will determine resistance to be futile.

 

The best thing we can do with "PUBLIC" television and online news, such as cable and satellite? Cut it off. Cut it all off. Disconnect it. I mean, aren't you tired of women popping up in front of your family and friends in their bras and panties? Aren't you tired of being caught in mixed company as the enEmy prances around on television in front of you all in his underwear briefs, right there in your own living room? Aren't you tired of so called "news" that has been instructed to tell you every step (supposedly but lies) and every fart obAma and either cliNton make?  The enEmy does what iT does and makes YOU pay for it... every bit of it.

 

And in case you're wondering, I gave up public TV and online news 25 years ago...  But I didn't do it to be able to preach about it. I did it because I was tired of financing MTV.

 

Propaganda has always been an effective part in any war. One easy thing we can all do is just unplug... It's that simple. Just unplug. You'll find your mind and heart being restored to places you've long thought impossible because they will not then be continually bombarded by enEmy crap.

 

You'll be amazed.

Around friends that I speak to in person I'm seeing a lot of frustration because they understand what's happening, but don't know of anything to do about it.   We all seem to be waiting for someone to tell us what we can do about it....   I have to include myself in that for other than telling people the boogie man is about to get us there seems to be little we can do about it but vote and I'm not sure there is time to do that.

I turned off the television a long time ago as well, it just wasn't doing my blood pressure any good.  It helps, or at least it did for me.

[tigger398]

I think everything is more media now, then it was before.

i'm not shocked anymore. but i don't think i'm becoming desensitized either. with each new low we hit as a society, i become more deeply saddened. and it's not like any kind of sadness i've ever felt before, either. it's a sadness that i feel all the way to the core. it's a spiritual kind of anguish. and it even sounds weird to say that, but that's what i feel.
