Expressing anger and disappointment, an individual explained his disillusionment about our country and its leaders to me. I don’t use a couch; I can examine this kind of individual in any place or position. After careful consideration of the way in which he spent his time, I came up with a diagnosis. I call it “newsitis.” It occurs when a constant harangue about politics and changes in culture is consumed by an individual over a long period of time. It causes an inflammation of the frontal cortex. The solution is to only observe the media on a very limited basis. At the same time, my patient should fill the void with what the Bible calls “doing good.” It works almost every time but especially for believers.
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
Are you talking unkindly about the president, complaining about CDC rules, crying about AOC, or being frightened by inflation? Take this pill.
Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.
In my years of practice in this field, I find the above-mentioned the only way back to a sane mind.
Think about it.
