Put .... the .... PC .... down !!

Dear all,

How many of you find yourselves logging on every day to keep your finger on the pulse of what is going on on this forum, or indeed in the world?

I feel though we are in danger of becoming overloaded with information; not just PA and PC, but the whole internet gives me access to a world of worry.

I'm not saying we shouldn't be prepared or aware, but I now think that logging on every day is not a healthy activity for myself, it's almost like my soul connects into something much bigger than me and I am drained by it more than nourished.

Maybe someone else has had similar experiences?

It's bad enough zoning out to tv, but does anyone find that there's a kind of listlessness about zoning out at the PC? You check one site, then another...read some random tit-bit about something big that's going down...then you think about that .. and the ramifications...then you wonder about the authenticity of the information...and then something else catches your eye and you read that too... then you read an argument between two people on a post and you wonder who's right and if they are fair to each other.... and meanwhile...wait... what's that sound ? yes....it's your life , ticking away while all that is going on.

If I don't even turn on the PC at all some days, then I've found the day runs very differently. Anyone else found that ? There's more peace for a start.

We have to consider how we regulate the time we allocate, or all our time will be consumed. And for what, in the end?

Good luck, and peace and love be with you,

K
