And because TV craves what is sensational, violent, shocking and bizarre, our addiction to it also tends to make us negative, cynical, depressed and fearful of the crazy world it presents. We know that we need patience, daily attention, persistence, and determination to accomplish anything worthwile in life. To understand what is Godly and wise and what it's like in the kingdom of God, perhaps we should turn off the television and take a walk in the park. We should spend less time with a media that agitates and excites us with flickering images and more time with nature and real people who remind us that much of life's growth and beauty is calm, serene and patient. We need more time alone, more time with Nature and real people and less time with television and mere images of people.
Television is unreal.
