39 Days Left - Why I Don't Watch TV Anymore



I don't watch TV anymore!!
I will only use it if I watch Movies that are WORTH MY TIME!

Here are my 8 reasons why I dont watch TV anymore:

1. NEGA-TV-TY. 
I really get a strange feeling of negative energy oozing out of the television everytime news is aired. It's all about crime, violence, catasrophe, economic turmoil, and all other bad news. In result, it creates, "useless anxieties", you get stuck, you get afraid, pessimistic, and you become stagnant.

2. SEX, DRUGS, and VIOLENCE. 
Why not LIFE, WEALTH, and HAPPINESS? You can't see these in telenovelas.

3. THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOWBUSINESS
Why follow other peoples lives that people don't even know what's going on in the lives of their own sons and daughters! The life behind the screens of their movies is still business! They are only making a fool of people following them. And you see, the lives you are following are lives with divorce, adultery, intrigues, scams, love triangle!And they stick to it every Sunday afternoon! Why not follow the lives of actors/actresses SUCCEEDING in life makind a difference to the world! oh, are their any?

4. EMPTINESS
When was the last time that you watched a TV show and you felt so good about yourself, or you learned something great that made you so motivated to action, or it changed your life???

5. TIME SPENT ILL
With all the time spent in watching TV did it "produce" something good out of it? Or the day just went by faster?

6. MAKES YOU FEEL SO SMALL
Aside from the fact that most TV figures negatively affect people's self-esteem, TV makes the icons there on top of their world and you are just below, one of their million fans. Your world revolves around them. But actually, you should be the one on top of your world!

7. IT'S NOT REAL
TV creates a world with the main objective of creating money, not for you, but for themselves. Ask yourself this, imagine you are in a big house, with all cameras around it, and the whole world watching at you, what will you do? Okay so you say you will try to be yourself, to be who you really are. But don't forget everything else it not! All the challenges they give, the scenarios, are designed to create a show that will keep people on watching and texting and create them more money! Its a REALITY but its a TV.

8. TV IS NOT MADE FOR YOU..ITS FOR THE NETWORKS, ADVERTISERS AND PRODUCTIONS
At the end of the day, who is happier, fulfilled, and richer? You or the TV networks, actors, and producers?

-------------------------------------------

"So who cares, if I watch TV...what's with all this fuss??!"
Actually, no one cares.

Just don't stick too much on the boob tube.
And make sure you're not missing the other great things the REAL world has to offer.
(except for the World Cup and Kerygma TV though, got no choice! hehehe)

  1. I have to agree with you. Watching TV is a waste of time. It's like trying to live a life that is not yours. I don't watch TV as well.
    Great post Hanz. Keep it up.
