Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I accidentally deleted my home page and have been lakidaisical about fixing it.  Now I'm beginning to think it's for the best.  I can still get news, if needs be, from my phone, but now that's it.  I don't read articles on the computer, and as I don't watch TV news or listen to news any longer in the car (I've switched to the classical station) I'm not bombarded by news.  In my email I receive calls to sign petitions or take actions, and I read those, as it's a quick and easy way to help causes that I care about.  But really, the news is nine tenths recycling, and most of it is not my interest.  So right speech for me is about selecting what I fill my head with, like the straw of the the man in the Wizard of Oz.  I'm liking not knowing:  I've filtered out a lot of unnecessary information, and the important stuff gets through somehow by osmosis anyway.  Plus I have friends eager to tell me what they think is urgent, and now I am a more interested listener.  So home page goodbye, and tranquillity hello.
