I’ve noticed something: most family drama sounds like a telenovela plot.
Told an old Polish friend, he nodded emphatically and yelled, “Yeah, but mine’s more General Hospital meets As the World Turns.”
Theory: Old media messed us up the same way social media does now.
Makes sense. Media is media is media.
Trash in, drama out.

PS. I did a deeeep dive into this theory recently and got lost in history of Mexico, politics, religion, culture, economics, media, music, news and so much more. Understanding the context of our ancestors helps explain how and why they made the decisions they had to make. What are the invisible forces that were moving them and shaping their identity? Same as we are going through today. Stay tuned. It was an eye-opening adventure that I am still processing.
