Daily news, TV serial shows and movies

Most of these have a very large correlation with our daily emotional fluctuations and small correlation with what actually happens in our daily lives. I agree that this does help us connect with and converse with our colleagues, friends, relatives and even perfect strangers, but how many of us keep in mind the drops of emotional trauma that might one day lead to a flood in each of our lives? How many of us draw the line during these conversations - the line that divides banter and arguments, the line that divides conversation from confrontation, the line that divides our responsibility from someone else's?

Alas! There are very few who do, including me. I might be aware of this line every time I cross it, but I can hardly dream of achieving perfect control over my desire to toe it. This disaffects our happiness. This affects our psyche and consequently our health and quality of life. One can hardly think that banning the bringers and causative agents of these emotional spikes could be a practical solution. Of course, we even have no right to stifle these expressions of human emotions.

What is within our right and ability is to ban our reactions and exposure to these agents of trauma-drops.
