“By careful handling of the smoke in the fire, fire can be made to blaze.  Therefore the human form of life is a chance for the living entity to escape the entanglement of material existence.”

-A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

How do we escape the entanglement of material existence? Watch the news or scroll through your newsfeed, the content carries you away. You can believe what you see,

Does the mere suggestion make you want to buy/consume/sell?

but you don’t have to. You can control the input. Your involvement is what you make it. Make it internal, moving from the inside–>out. Moving from the outside–>in will cause you to consume what you’ll probably soon want to expel. Anger breeds anger, fear breeds fear. You’ll find that you may not need most of the things you choose to consume. You may not need to read the news like it’s air. You may need to pull away from the mass dialogue. You may just need to breathe on your own for a while.
