”Don‘t Fear The Trolls”

I am Ronn Pawo McLane here with my good friend and co-host Danny Hobart. Welcome to The Backyard Buddhist Podcast – Where we seek to bring calm introspection together with skillful action.   Today on the Backyard Buddhist were introducing our First HOT ON THE GRILL SEGMENT.  This is where we are talking about the relevant hot button issues that were faced with today. 

You would have to live in a remote cave to have missed the sharp twist of hatred and polar views these days.  No matter what part of the world you are in there are opposing viewpoints.  We sit and watch the news like we are watching a WWE grudge match. 

I find myself wondering what is staged, what is real and often ask myself “Is this real?”  Each day it just seems to get crazier and crazier, no matter if you are on one side or the other the behavior is simply appalling to see as a sane adult.
