Hello my spiritually seeking, life appreciating community!

I have a question and am presently unsure as how to go about even asking it.

I had a couple thoughts earlier today relevant to this topic...

One, it seems more people now rely on information outside themselves to tell them what to think and how to feel. You may be guilty of this and not be willing to admit it. An example I can give you is... I asked my friend how he's doing today and he said he's doing miserable after learning about all these different atrocities he's read spending his time online. It seems a majority of us are living with a TV, a cellphone or the internet between our ears.

Two, despite how divided we seem- I feel with quite a Faith-filled emotion that we are becoming more united than ever. Even people who seem so opposite are uniting, and a common "enemy" seems to be shifting towards something other than fellow layman vs fellow layman. Granted, there is still much duality and Ego where people feel so attached to a political or religious identity they treat their spiritual Brother or Sister with contempt or disrespect... Either way, I am hopeful we are collectively evolving towards divine realization.

So... What am I trying to get at?

Well- I feel like ancient wisdom has said not to rely on things outside your self. And it seems all we do is rely on things outside ourselves.

I guess my question is. How do we navigate this life accordingly, so as to create peace with those we find disagreeable and/or heavily dependent on the worlds drama for their life experience? I say this knowing narratives today have been construed, information online has been taken out of context and polarization has been intentionally employed as a tactical weapon by those who wish to steer the course of humanity.

Do we fight each other and say- you are wrong! This is actually what's going on in the world!
Do we close ourselves off to the other and say- Oh, how mislead my Brother/Sister has been! They are totally indoctrinated, and therefore I must distance myself from them!

I recognize I am more than my body. But I came here to experience 3D physicality, this I can say with certainty as my individual preference. I am choosing to find the harmony between This Life, a life of duality and Spiritual life- a life of oneness. It isn't easy, and I am far from tempering my personality or taming my Ego- sometimes, I willingly rebel against the idea.

In a world of hot and cold, right and wrong- how do we recognize who one calls evil another calls great and bridge the differences our attachments create?

How do we create peace with those in our environment who appear so hypertensive as a consequence of living totally online AND/OR totally inside their heads?

I guess these are my thoughts I have been wanting to get out and welcome your feedback.

Namaste~
