When I was a kid, ‘far out’ was a standard, Sixties-era, hippie-inspired expression. Fast forward five decades and you’ll hear ‘far left’ and ‘far right’ and not much ‘far out.’
Whatever hot topic of the news cycle – taxation, abortion, masks, vaccination, climate change, gun control, childcare, and many others – most of the non-stop rhetoric comes from those on the far ends of the political spectrum. Meanwhile, the rest of us are just living our lives.
If non-stop noise from The Extremes ignites stress and frustration in your life, consider tuning it out and focusing on what you can control. A good place to start might be with contemplating the message sent long ago from the ‘far up’: Love your neighbor as yourself.
