The news is part of reality, even when it is only partially correct. Or, in the current times, when it is a absolute lie. But it should not be all of our real lives, just a part, kept in proper perspective. For example, we could not be fully human if we totally ignored the news reports on the horrors taking place today in Ukraine. Or the muders taking place daily in this country. But if we saturate our being with just those, we become incapable of doing the Good that only people with inner peace can accomplish. This was taught by masters such as Gandhi and King. We each have the individual ability -- made more available within groups of individuals -- to find and access that inner peace. It is only our first nature as tiny infants, until the outside society makes inner peace a faded memory, for our brains are organic machines, computers really, that tend to prevent inner peace in today's society. Yet it is possible to achieve, by a number of routes available to each of us. And that is the process of evolution that makes us fully human.
