Maudy conveyed this clarification through comments embedded in the video entitled Mindfulness in the Age of Bad News. On Sunday (13/9), he responded to various comments and perspectives that emerged after the video was widely discussed.

"Hi friends, thank you for all the comments and perspectives conveyed here. I have read many of them, and there is one important thing that I realized I haven't conveyed enough in this video," wrote Maudy.

He then admitted that the ability to distance himself from the news was a privilege that not everyone had.

"Being able to step away from the news is itself a privilege. Not everyone has that choice, especially when what happens has a direct impact on their life, family, work or community. I apologize because I haven't reflected this part enough in the video," he continued.

This statement became part of Maudy's evaluation after his idea regarding the news diet or limiting news consumption was considered by some netizens to be inseparable from the reality experienced by society.

The video, which was uploaded on August 21 2026, was actually made by Maudy to discuss his personal experiences in dealing with the flood of information. He admitted that the various bad news that appeared continuously had an impact on his mental condition.

Instead of following all the information circulating, Maudy chose to reorganize the information that entered his mind. He filters news sources, chooses reading material, and discusses things with people who are considered to understand certain issues.

"So I don't expose myself all day to this bad news because, yes, once again, it can make you discouraged, it can really make you dysfunctional," said Maudy in the video.

"Moreover, I'm actually quite an emotional person and I think and I'm an overthinker, so it's okay if it's like that, it's better if we just split," he continued.

Maudy also explained that this habit helped her better understand her emotional state when faced with so much information.

"These are some of the things that make me have more self-awareness and 'why do I feel this tired?', how strong is this mentally amidst all the bad news that is out there," said Maudy.

However, this message then received a different interpretation from some viewers. For those in areas affected by various problems, bad news is not just information that can be kept away from daily life. This situation is a reality that they directly face and cannot simply be muted.

This criticism then made Maudy look again at his ideas from a broader perspective. He emphasized that he never intended to use mindfulness as an excuse to be indifferent to social conditions.

"I don't want mindfulness to be an excuse to not care or stay away from reality. Moreover, it's an invitation to be silent, or to look as if things are fine," said Maudy.

According to him, mindfulness should actually help someone understand the situation more clearly, including remaining concerned about the people affected.

"In fact, this mindfulness allows me to see cause and effect clearly, helps us remain caring and present, and remain sensitive to what those affected feel," he said.

At the end of his clarification, Maudy appreciated the criticism and perspective given to him. He said the input was an opportunity for him to learn and broaden his perspective.

"Thank you to friends who have taken the time to remind me and add a broader and deeper perspective. I listen and I appreciate the feedback. I'm listening and learning," said Maudy Ayunda
