Amid the bustling daily news cycle jumbling up one new sensational story in the stead of another national or international priority, *sustained effort* is important. Just like when you start to build a house, only seeing it thru gets the reward; building a house halfway & stopping is wasteful. Similarly, We must see our high priorities thru, & not bounce around all the new news stories like a pinball in a pinball machine, lifeless to urgency & importance.
*As news readers, viewers, & listeners,* make a list, prioritize it, put it somewhere you will look over it every day, probably.
We have things we need to tend to, & not merely be pushed less than gracefully thru one door then the next, leaving important things behind, unfinished. Politically, I suggest we prioritize, rather than get juked out by a flurry of sensational but at the end of the day, not our highest desires for helping people in need, resolving situations, & answering the goings on using the best practices extant to bring about our best lives.
Lastly, let’s also not forget the most important, timeless “goods” of Life: Goodness, Truth, Beauty, Happiness, & all the infinite rest should be commemorated in our Parthenons eternally.
