Think about thinking about TV will you?

You know the more I think about it the worse I think of telly. You sit in front of it so you don't have to do anything, you don't have to think. You soak up stuff you don't realise you are soaking. You waste time. You fill your mind with images you could do without. It may not seemed to have done you that any bad... but how much GOOD has it done you?

Its passive, its part of the "entretain me" culture we live in that suugests its ok for me to do nothing and let you fill my mind with whatever you want.

A great woman said to me, "Looking back you'll be proud of practising the guitar, but you'll never be proud of the time you spent watching TV" There's no denying that its so true. If you try to argue with it, i suggest you are trying to justify an action you enjoy but have not honestly weighed up fully.

The thing is, we have the opportunity NOW to change how we will look back on our lives. When we do the looking back it will be too late. NOW we can alter things.

So go and watch some telly - but choose what you will watch, watch things that are in some way ACTUALLY beneficial to you - and ALSO MORE beneficial to you than something else you could have done with that time... I suggest we watch a whole heap less telly and are a lot more discerning, self disciplined and intentional about what we watch.
