Today’s Thought: Better to Be in Balance

Imagine if the only foods you ate were sugar laden sweets. It wouldn’t be long before you’d have all kinds of health related problems. The problem is when you go to the supermarket you can’t get past the bakery. You fill your basket with cakes, tarts, and other assorted sweets. There is no balance in your diet. The same is true if we only have one station as the source for news and you make the assumption that everything you hear is accurate. I was speaking to a neighbor and politics came up. He went on a rant. I let him finish and he thanked me letting him vent. He only watches one station for all his information. Just like the person who only eats sugar laden sweets, he is out of balance. A balanced person gathers information from multiple sources to help form his/her decisions.
