There are only two major sources which draw human attention.

1.Outrage

2. Anxiety .

Hence , the mainstream media news channels project only these on tv though there maybe
hundreds and thousands of good things happening in the country. We are fed only that, so
that we may stay hooked on their channels and they will dump ads into our mouths and
well be financially stripped by them too .

One must be mature enough to turn of all external sources of distraction and focus on his
purpose , even his leisure maybe spent on his purpose and craft of interest. Much more
desirable than watching a north Indian wearing glasses shouting along side 12 other people
from their virtual prison cells.
ecause it’s good for business and it boosts their career. If an actor does something
controversial he’ll get invited to a talkshow and get payed for that while his name which
functions like a brand gets even more bigger. That’s also why companies have controversial
ads.
