Television is blocking your mind

I’ve got a question for you…how many hours a week do you spend in front of the “magic” box?  Second question..how many hours of the time spent watching tv is used on programs that are really worth seeing, that taught you something useful, that had some meaning, that made this time worthwhile? What was it that you watched anyways? Soap operas..big brother..movies..news..cartoons..gossip programs? If you picked any of those then in my opinion you wasted your time…All of them are usually packed with useless information, they have no value whatsoever. Their only aim is to take your mind away, to keep your attention from things which are really important and meaningful. All of the above mentioned broadcasts aim to deflect your awareness, to concentrate on trivial things, keep you busy and entertained so that you do not have time to think for yourself and about yourself, life and its purpose. People have a tendency to focus on someone else’s life rather than their own..well it’s much easier to advise, criticize and judge others than improve ourselves. Media is using this weakness of human mind and happily provides people with total trash. However, there are a few programs worth seeing, like Animal Planet or Discovery as they have the ability to educate.

I have not watched television at all for more than a year now because I can find at least 5 ten times more interesting things to do than consciously let myself get brainwashed. If I do want to see something valuable, there’s no easier way than to use internet. It also saves me money since I do not need to pay almost £150 for a license, plus the electricity bill is lower. It’s almost like with cigarettes when you quit them, there are only benefits. Actually, for some people television is like cigarettes..when they miss an episode of their favourite program they feel as if they lost something. When they cannot watch it, they experience loss again..it’s just pathetic. Do not waste your time on illusions, get real and become actively involved in your own life.
