I read a lot of articles over HIV. 2 things always come to mind. 1st, these articles drive home how universal & global this epidemic is. 2nd, no matter how many astounding articles I read over advancements, discoveries & triumphs involving HIV & those people living it, there are always those articles by jack-asses spreading misery.
I don't always talk about the global articles I read. I try to keep it more local. Though, sometimes the global articles are very relevant. I do my best to steer clear of the political & smear articles. They solve nothing & only add to the negativity already present in this world. I don't need to add to it as well.
I'm normally not all that Norman-Vincent-Pealeish, but I do believe your attitude effects your life & your health. I do my best to stay away from the cites I know are just going to upset, frustrate or anger me. I avoid conservative/religious crap like the plague. I don't think those people believe half of what they say, they just like to rile people. They do what they do for ratings, outrage & to cover up their own issues.
Here are some bits of advice I have on the matter....
- George Bernard Shaw said, "Never wrestle with a pig... you get dirty & the pig likes it."
- Robert Heinlein said, "Never try to teach a pig to sing, it wastes your time & annoys the pig."
- Most of all try to keep positive, it can only help you & bewilder those who would bring you down.
Cya...
