It's a wise stand to ignore all disturbing things going around you because there is so much of it all around us that we think we are better off ignoring it all. But may be it's not good in the long term ... the direction in which we are progressing as a society and as a civilization should be taken care of. But to each his own. Sometimes you won't react but there will definitely be a time when you will find yourself agitated.
But it's really cool of you to maintain equanimity all over. Hope you can do it all though your life. And then positively respond to situations (which could have been disturbing) without being agitated yourself. Being still and poised in all circumstances and yet doing what ought to be done is greatest virtue of all, IMHO.
Thank you and I like your comment. :)
Too much familiarity to something will lead to addiction which will ruin our purpose as a human being. Sometimes we focus much on the topic or shall we say for example, like the statement of Andreas, we tend to catch right away the negative word or statement that he said and we try to correct it, then it penetrates into our hearts then we express it through words or even actions. Then everybody knows it and they make their opinions about it then we read different views, we even shared it to our friends and families, then it scattered all over the entire universe. What's the effect? Bad reaction, bad behavior, different kinds of arguments. We're no longer aware of this because our mind are already covered with those thoughts and ideas because of that too much familiarity of that word or statement or comment that has been scattered all over the universe. It affects us all.
