This is another reason why we must think for ourselves. Our concept of self, should not come from "without." Society should not tell us who we are. When we think and feel from within our own selves, untainted by society and its workings, we start to get to the truth.
My recommendation for all humans is to disconnect from the media. Peek in once in a while to see what's going on, perhaps. Number one: don't watch TV.
I absolutely agree--turn off the TV; one can be "informed" enough without it. How I "peek in" without getting hugely involved emotionally? I get a wonderful little magazine called The Week (https://secure.palmcoastd.com/pcd/!e.Srv...=IWS6&ck=Y if you're interested). I just dumped my facebook page too.
