Like Juvenal said in Roman times:
The (vulgar) masses are distracted and fleeced by circuses and bread (circecen + panem)
Our modern metaphor:
Our circuses are TV shows, UFC fights, sports, politics, the news (both real and fake) and our bread is high fructose corn syrup, ‘organic’ foods, Coca Cola, cookies, and McDonalds.
Takeaway:
Don’t let the bread and circuses distract, sucker you, or sap your precious attention.
Your attention, focus, and zen above all.
