Why Are You Watching Television?

Have you really thought about why it is that you are watching TV?

Is it to stay “informed” about something?

(Could this be achieved by listening to the radio?)

Is it for “entertainment”?

(Could this be achieved by reading a book?)

Or, is it to relax and “veg out”?

(Meditation would have a far better long term result).

Unless you are watching a documentary or a needed “how to” show, watching TV isn’t helping you.

Realistically, is there anything that the TV “does” for you that can’t be provided by something else?
