Day 27

I really believe we are the ones who can make the best of anything and everything. I am reading in so many books from great authors of our time about how TV is making us and our kids 'dumb'. Having thought about it, so many people love watching these soaps because they can let go of their reality and just sink into good old Eastenders or whatever. The problem with this, and without so many people realizing  we are being sublimely fed a load of garbage. I know many will think I am out of my mind, but it is very very true! On an unconscious level, TV, adverts and even music to some extent shape us on an sub-conscience level. You will not realize it but these messages do have an impact to the way you are / think and even do to some extent. In Islam we are encouraged to read and feed our mind with knowledge and that which would benefit us. But today, how many of us come home from work and just switch the telly on instead of sitting down with a good book? Anyway, I really wanted to point out that TV is not entirely evil. There are great programs on there which can be both entertaining and educational. I love watching the nature programs. I think its great!
