Thinking about TV

What does the television do to me?

My mother was watching drama. It's a typical Pinoy drama that has a story where the protagonist is being deliberately made to endure things that do not favor him. Things that do not happen in real life at all!

I remember Jopet Pedroso saying that I should avoid drama because drama drains people of energy. I want my energy to remain intact so I turned off the TV and played Pachelbel's Canon in D. It was more pleasant.

Reflecting on it, the TV:

  1. Pollutes my mind with unnecessary programs
  2. TV's gives me the capacity to judge easily. Instead of reflecting on myself, I tend to judge whatever I am watching and ignore conquering my own short comings.
  3. Instead of doing, I watch. -> Complacency, Procrastination, kaka-analyze, napaparalize

Funny thing is that there is a big TV in our living room. I use it for my presentations and trainings ;)

Nowadays I avoid TV's, especially TV dramas. Giving my best effort, if it's not good mind setting, then I say no.
