Having given up cable television last year, I rarely watch the news but CNN happened to be closed captioned on the screen in front of the chest press at the YMCA yesterday. In the two minutes that I sat there, this is what I gathered: Iran is acting badly and Obama made a threat. The media was analyzing with fervor whether or not Obama would follow through on his threat.
I found this humorous. What I saw was the alcoholic/codependent dynamic on a global scale. I heard the words of my sponsor - Say what you mean. Do what you say. It's ironically simple. I saw the media scuttling around in a dramatic buzz like ants with a disrupted mound, like family members dealing with an alcoholic crisis of chaos and I felt - amazingly sane.
