Would you rather be misinformed, disinformed, know a lot, know a little or know nothing? (kbin.melroy.org)

I would rather know a little, honestly. Because what pisses me off about information today is that I don't really know who's value I am to take and even be skeptical towards. So I'd rather know little.

Mind you, i still want to retreat from society :)

But also, my father died 4 years ago, my mother just two months ago. One learns to "not give a shit". They where 62 and 61 respectively. I'm 43.

Life's too short to worry about things you can't control. And since i can't control anything on the news, i stopped watching, and stopped caring.

I CAN control how i handle those around me. So i try to be as respectful and as friendly as i can be to those close by.
