TV – There is a bad side...

Mostly we only think of the TV to have only a good side. It is entertaining, educating and familiar. It is interesting and inspiring for all. But….is it really?

Every coin has two faces, so does the true identity of our beloved telly. Television is addictive and none can say no to that simple fact.  It plays with our feelings, making us see and feel a certain way. It gains our trust – becomes our closest friend and there is no way we can misjudge that fact.  In childhood it’s a parent, then a sibling and after that a friend. It is dominant in our lives, as it affects our point of view and how we live. It takes up our time, so we can wonder afterwards where it had gone. It is specifically made for our entertainment and our use.

Statistically speaking, though it varies from person to person, every average human in America watches television about four hours a day. Thus, truly, it places high stakes in our lives. 99% of Americans own at least one TV and about 250 billion hours a year are spent by watching telly. And that is only one country! Think about it globally and the numbers grow sky-high. I even bet there are at least 100 people watching TV right this second!

Television plays a great role in our life, but not only it ruins our moral stability, it also ruins our eyesight. Millions of people have eyesight problems just because of too much television. Don’t be surprised if you thought the cause to be not enough carrot, telly has grown to be such a part of our daily lives that it seems that we forgot to doubt it.

Though I just said that we do not doubt it, many people understand that they watch it for no reason. Have you ever switched on the TV to find yourself thinking that what is on the screen is rubbish. Even news sometimes will make us wince. Informative? Bah! Don’t make me laugh. News is made by the government to spoon-feed us the information that they want us to see and not the truth. Find out about it for yourself! Talk to the real spectators! Do not just your mind be brainwashed by those fools! Maybe you think it’s too much work. Or that you can decipher truth from lies. Unfortunately, you can’t.

TV is specifically made to brainwash us, to make see things only from one point of view. Television is just a machine, for goodness sake! It cannot judge the truth from the lies. That we must do ourselves.

Our television cannot be our family of friend. Though the faces inside are so familiar – you do not know them, you just see their shadow on the screen, you just see a memory. It is not real. So I must ask you, why are you reading this? Go watch some TV.
