How violent or angry are the media you attend? Do your favorite songs describe angry stories? Do your favorite shows or movies advocate violence as a means of justice? Studies show that even seeing an angry face can trigger those same emotions in your brain. If we aren’t more mindful of the media we consume, it might mix with other stressors in our lives, contributing to the collective anger in society. We can choose our media, and choose wisely. For those angry people we can’t avoid, we cultivate compassion in our minds to counterbalance the negativity.
