Remember kids:
The news is like a mine field, do not wander haphazardly around in it. Stop at its periphery. Take stock of your resources. Do you have at hand the mental tools to deal with it. If not acquire those first.
The sharpest of tools is discernment.
There is nothing wrong with an emotional reaction, The trick is to discern it from the calm situational awareness of rational thought.
