Note: According to Neil Postman, our society has become saturated with information, leading to a state of meaningless abundance where we are unable to discern what is truly significant or irrelevant, resulting in a lack of understanding about what matters most. This glut of information can ultimately lead to a disorientation and disconnection from the world around us, causing us to lose touch with meaningful experiences and relationships.

By questioning and verifying information, readers can cut through the spin and gain a more accurate understanding of the world, rather than relying on a one-sided narrative.

Alternative Media Insights
Note: As we venture into the realm of alternative media reporting, it is essential to acknowledge that not all sources are created equal. While some outlets offer crucial counter-narratives and insights, others pose a significant risk of misinformation, perpetuating controlled opposition or serving as wolves in sheep's clothing, intent on misleading their audience with agendas designed to confuse rather than inform.

I was struck by the sentence above, which said, "I always get to where I'm going by walking away from where I've been." We tend to over complicate things, but most of the time the answer is the basics. Wherever you want to go, whatever you want to achieve, all you have to do is a first step. It is already a milestone if it is in the right direction. If you don't have the courage to walk away from the known, you won't get to where you're going. Nothing was achieved by remaining stagnant. In pursuit of more knowledge, new realizations and different horizons, evolution is the continuous leaving behind of what has already been learned and experienced. Courage, vision, focus and perseverance are the most important ingredients to success....
