The Power Television Has Over Us
They say television ruins the mind. And in ways, its true. They use sex, drugs, and violence to grab your attention. It pulls you away from the real world. Away from real people. And away from life in general. It gives you false memories, destorying the ones you've lived. It makes you yern to be in the life of the characters. To do as they do. To be who they are. To see the things and places they've seen. It steals your identity.
On the other hand, all these reasons can be good as well. It can take you way from all the pain in the real world. Take you away from your problems. Get rid of memories you wish you never had. And make you yern for a better life. Then again, it makes you question what is real and what isn't.
When ever I look back on the best days of my life I think I've seen them on TV. I am so home sick for someone I never knew and never will. I am so home sick for palces I've never been and never be. I am so home sick, wishing to see things that aren't real. To see things that can only be see on TV or in dreams.
