Dial a Fear

Masses love fear 
                       Immensely so very wrong 
                       Fear has scary claws 
                       That glow in the night
                       Robbing us of all our might

Surely, there are! But people have an inner desire for fear...roller coasters, scary movies~ and the biggest bogeyman on the block..."breaking news." Anisha~ Thank you for the visit.. Panagiota xx

Some do thrive on worst case scenario. I think it wise to arm ourselves with prevention knowledge which will eliminate fear.

And I so agree with you. Also take news sabbaticals.. News..a curse, rarely a blessing. I bet you and I could write some silly, hot narratives to scare people)) we would never do it. We have ethics. I loathe lies published as truth. Also the Internet packed with lies. Panagiota

You're right Panagiota, some thrive on it. Tom

Yes, Tom, I meant plain old FEAR. No reference to CV at all. The media knows darn well how we love fear! Rioting, climate change... Gee, the list is endless. We can live in fear or hope in God or higher mental states. There should be a site..,The Daily Fear! LOL.for some it would be perfect. They have no hope in God or the future...they just see things negatively. Most News channels would never dream of doing something that sane -)) Panagiota xx

Hello Darlene. I did mean fear of all the crazy nonsense in general published by most papers, TV and radio. In that sense, fear is a virus. The current CV fear is the latest. If you live in my state, we are told constantly, that part of it will fall into the Pacific. Climate change is another one. Be well and thank you....Panagiota xx
