I stopped reading the news with any regularity about 2 years ago now, and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made tbh

If something actually big happens, it breaks through and people talk about it

But lately, I feel the pull of old attachments to ideas and ideologies

I haven't been meditating as regularly lately, I've been working early and haven't noticed a major change by doing it less, so I haven't sweated it too much

I wonder if this desire to get swept up again in the dream of culture is a result of that.

There's another part of me, definitely fueled by Twitter, that wants to start writing longform again.

For me, writing flows out of passion, and when I am practicing diligently and focusing close to home, and purposefully not attaching to my passions, it makes it pretty hard.

What I want to know is if any other meditators also feel this ambivalence/confusion toward passion, the treachery of representation, working with discourse or other materials you know to be delusion.

I've looked inside for an answer but I still genuinely don't know what to do.
