My honesty, quite often makes people furious. If you are one of them, don’t blame me — hold your anger for a moment and analyze what you just read. You may learn something about yourself. I am not your enemy — I want you to open your eyes to the world around you.
You probably waste a lot of your time on meaningless television. It is one of those distractions, which grabs your attention and doesn’t let go. If you know, which celebrity is dating who, and if you watching TV shows every week as a new episode comes on if you have a favorite news channel — you probably watching too much television.
Hence, life is the way it is. Celebrity gossip and buzz bring no value to your life, it only serves the celebrities. Aim to be on TV instead of watching it. You may say, that watching television helps you to disconnect, but that is exactly the issue. Yo disconnect from your problems instead of dealing with them and getting them out of the way.
This is not different from taking the pill or a drug every time when you feel sick, instead of looking for the reason causing that problem. There are rare occasions, where the time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time. But think about it. Should sitting inside and watching the screen be something you really enjoy doing?
Let me explain what means having the favorite news channel. You might say that the only good reason to watch TV is to be aware of what is happening in the world, staying informed. The problem with this is that TV stations are always trying to fit their own agenda. They do not care about you, they care about the money made. Instead, use the power of the internet to get a quick glimpse of what the world is like today and move on to your own thing.
Many people are into sport. Unfortunately, not by themselves actively, but in front of the telly. The thought is unless you are a professional athlete or an owner of one of the teams, there is really no reason for you to watch sports. This is the same with television. It is escapism from your current reality.
Think of it like this: you put yourself in the position, where you as an individual have no impact on the outcome of the game. Zero impact! This behavior then sticks with you and you end up being a spectator in your own life instead of being the player or the owner.
And that is when you start criticizing other people when you yourself haven’t done anything better.
