The true danger of having too much time on your hands?
All this mindless entertainment can replace every basic function we perform in life. There's just so much out there to watch, and it's all based on the premise of appealing to people and their desires. Trying to stay independent of mind in the world of media that's come to exist is like trying to resist sinning in Las Vegas. It's not easy, the temptation is real, you need to keep a grip on yourself and watch how attached you get to these products or you just might go under for good; and the worst thing about it is, when it takes you... you tend to like it (in an empty, lifeless sort of way).
I appreciate your posts, by the way. I'm really glad I have you on my feed.
