The beast part of the human being feeds on fake news and negative news whilst the human part of the human being is subdued by the beast part. As the beast is a chimp, its power is predominant and any direct conflict with it would result in the human being on the losing side.

A beautiful woman is a pleasant thing to appreciate, and yet, the beast part disturbs jealousy and prompts the desire of sex and possession. As the society curbs the beastly desire, jealousy redoubles. Thus, negative comments go, “…but she has an eagle nose”, or “…but she is not intelligent”, or “…but she must have something bad”. Do they have audience? More than one can imagine, as that is the beast’s favourite cup of tea.

When it comes to Trump, one can hardly hear anything nice or positive about him. People are led into forgetting that first and foremost he is a human being and then a very successful businessman, a TV man, and of course, occupies the most prestigious office in the world through fair and democratic election. Now, the beast dominates the media, and yet, it is through the fighting with the media, hence the beast, that Trump shows how weak the human being is in the conflict, with the human being left bruised one way or another. Or maybe, it does depend on the temperament of the human being in the conflict; where they do not take nonsense, nor give it a damn, as Trump shows, it is all up to the individual himself to gauge the outcome of the conflict. To an observer, it is often a no-win game.

Fake news and negative news is the result of predominance of the beast over the human. To conquer the beast, one needs to avoid the beast totally. Then, one may train oneself to calm the beast and lead it to where it lies dormant; for sure, that needs skills and commitment. Nothing is impossible. Anyhow, next you visit the zoo and see the beast lying and sleeping in the corner, you will know that there is no fake and negative news in the den. Let it be that way and bring no news other than news of honey.
