I’m not usually the type to blame the media for things, but I have to say that since I’ve become a “grown-up” (and yes, I put that in quotes for a reason…) it seems that the media is making far more mountains out of what were mole hills when I was a kid.
If you were an alien and came in from outer space yesterday, you might have thought we’d never had an inch of what we Earthlings call snowbefore! And, by the way, when did we decide to start naming every storm with a “pocalypse” suffix?
It’s not the end of the world, people! And, if it were, relax! Buying up all of the bread and milk isn’t going to give you more than a couple of days of extra life if we’re all going down anyhow.
Whatever you do, don’t panic like Vic Dibitetto. Poor guy’s gone around the bend!
“Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers, but to be fearless in facing them. Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain, but for the heart to conquer it.” ― Rabindranath Tagore
