Gymnastics Of Attention

I agree that what we give our attention to is what we care about -- but not always directly to the thing that has our attention but to the belief that it will somehow meet a need that we are ether conscious of or unconscious about. Because of the social media algorithms, what we give our initial attention to begins to mold what else will be offered to us. I search for wisdom talks, calming music, interesting perspectives about the world events, so I am offered more of these. I also consciously seek out what opponents, or adversaries are saying to see how their messages might be affecting those who are less discerning. It is a fascinating world, and human minds are intriguing.
