There are people who "do," and people who "watch." The time you spend watching, is time you don't spend doing.

As a separate issue, there is the issue of commercialism and marketing and ......brainwashing. Mind control. This is not good for you. It includes the intensity and stimulation you get from television. Those of us who rarely watch TV......find commercial TV to be rude, stark, obnoxious and taxing. It is hard to watch. Makes me nervous. Mesmerizes me. Puts me in a highly anxious and hypnotic trance. I have to look away. Sanity includes this aversion, I think. Then again, most folk here know I'm crazy. (wink)

I'm growing vegetables this year. I probably spend as much time staring at my garden and meditating as most folks do watching TV. And it feels good.
