Too Much


There are some (many) things that are just too much, in my opinion.  Modern society has several things that are just TOO saturating and overstated and overboard.  I feel in many ways I am needing to figure out some way to be less exposed to SO MUCH of these things.  It feels unhealthy to my mind, my body, and my soul.  What things are too saturated in modern society:

  • too much politics... both the side I tend to disagree with and the side I tend to agree with
  • too much over-the-top behavior from too many people
  • too much spotlight seeking behaviors from too many people
  • too many social or political groups shouting louder and louder and spewing more and more nonsense to get attention
  • too many things are too electronically focused
On this Christmas Eve, I am hoping that I can move away from the EXCESS to something that is more balanced.  I need more balance between work, rest, family, and myself.

I hope that all of you have a wonderful Christmas Eve today!

I think it's social media that is flooding us. I mean the X kind, not the blogging kind.

I agree with John. There are too many influencers who know nothing and too much emphasis on style over substance, flashy lies over the mundane truth, etc.
