The sewage press is at it again, trying to topple a local government. They’ve been at this for years—attacking a political party as if they’re still relevant. These two newspapers, whose circulations have dropped below that of a modest community paper, are shadows of what they once were.
At least they’ve been put out of their Saturday and Sunday misery. Their weekend editions died under the weight of their own filth—victims of their eagerness to please their Nero-like masters.
But let’s ask the real question:
Do newspapers actually topple governments?
No. People do. It’s the actions of citizens that change things.
Still, we’re surrounded by negativity.
If it’s not the sewage press spewing spin to curry favour with their political darlings, it’s acquaintances flooding WhatsApp with doom and gloom. Screens filled with irrelevant complaints and recycled outrage. What’s going on here?
Step outside. If you’re looking for a dose of despair, just walk down the main road of any town.
Blankets huddled around vagrants on a winter morning. The sharp smell of urine lingers in the air—no worse, frankly, than the stench of those newspapers. Alcoholics and addicts staggering on the pavement, caught in some frozen twilight. Litter piling up. Filth. Decay.
Yes, there are still bins. And yes, some people still use them.
So the question becomes:
What are you focusing on?
If you came here expecting me to tell you what to focus on, you’re mistaken.
Only you know what lifts you. What keeps you grounded. What matters to you.
Focus on that.
And yes, it takes discipline. In a world overrun with negativity, choosing what to focus on isn’t just a coping mechanism—it’s an act of rebellion.
Let me know if you’d like a more humorous, ironic, or poetic tone.
