Trashing the Moral Junk

It is said that you are what you eat. I couldn't agree less. Different grades of food provide different metabolical results and nutritional adjustments in our bodies. So also is what we feed our minds through the major sense organs- the eyes and ears. Everywhere we look to, information is acquired; in every direction we turn our heads, stories find their way into our ears. The information we receive then shapes us and we become who we eventually are today, as at now, as you read. The internet, books, friends, the media…all these and more are where we get all this information. And many of us have forgotten that not everything we see and hear is beneficial and can add value to us, we just take it hook, line and sinker. We forgot the filter at home, in church or at work. Our brains have gone numb; we can't feel the pain that comes with knowing the wrong thing until it is too late. Information, both good and bad, has become accessible to all, now at the fingertips, even of a twelve year old. Pornography fills the internet and is available with the right combination of words. What is to be done to survive the moral meltdown of the world?
What I see that can be done (you can suggest more as comments) is to replace the unwanted with the wanted, to substitute the flatulence with the scent of an air freshener. As human beings, we have the ability to choose. We are not pavlovian dogs. We have a will and can exercise it. No one can put a thing into our faces and force us to accept it, we are in control. We can always have a choice to avoid the decay and fill ourselves up with the right messages that will program us to think in patterns that bring positive results which eventually lead to pleasure (which is what most people seek when they go after the wrong things). Go to that seminar, pick up that inspirational book or novel or play that impactful message. I have discovered that the information we receive daily determines the quality of life that we live. To change our world, our nation and our individual lives, we need to control what we take in so as to create what we would like to see. It's time for us to be in control!
