You’re looking to get angry..

I came across the title of a post that said

You’re looking to get angry when you browse the internet

As I recalled all the content I had consumed that day

I realized much of it had stirred my emotions in a way

That I felt annoyed, outraged, perturbed, or plain angry

There were strong opinions with which I did not agree

With equally forceful language I wanted to retaliate

I was planning my rebuttals, my opinions I too wanted to state

But I was short on time and had enough insight

To not engage further in meaningless fights

I was able to move on after my initial reaction

I was thankful for not having taken any action

The title of that piece was eye-opening to read

Browsing the internet had made me angry indeed

That anger did not change anything, it was futile

It just robbed me of mental peace for a while..

This has given the strongest boost to my intention

To reduce my internet and social media consumption
