The news junkie who had enough
Santa Cruz do Sul, 26 January 2026
I'm writing this on the evening of Monday, 26 Januar 2026.
Exactly a week ago, I got so furious when taking in my usual dosis
of information, that all of sudden I turned off my laptop and said to myself:
That is enough, I'm not going to give my attention anymore to people I consider
power hungry, utterly vain and thoroughly nuts.
It is beyond me why I've never seriously questioned my addiction to the news; that
thefact that I'm a news junkie never really bothered me. Sure, I somehow knew that
but I did not take it seriously. On the contrary, it was a badge of honor.
It baffles me that only now I'm willing to see what it is: a disease that turns me into
a prisoner of news that I can do without if I so wish.
The readiness is all. says Horatio in Hamlet.
