It may have even been more restful. After all of the impressive bells and whistles on the TV, you come away from it with nothing. Or, you may come away with stuff that actually has a toxic effect on your life. And it produces something like our present culture -- which doesn't leave much to get excited about. So Things can really get interesting when a person redirects their time. Even if it's only half an hour or an hour per day. The potential is enormous. I'm not so sure that the benefits aren't the greatest when you just get rid of the toxic thing. <br /><br />Well, it worked for me, but, I'll admit, I'm a little different. Hey, many who are less eccentric than myself have done it! The thing will rob you of a much better life. It's really that simple. The problem is that it will also do much worse than that. <br /><br />Thanks for saying something here Carol.Todd Saundershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07460516882625598170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16662993.post-71678030833119345672011-01-19T14:55:02.799-08:002011-01-19T14:55:02.799-08:00I totally agree about TV.

We also need some peace and quiet to reflect on our lives, religious beliefs, etc. There is also much to enjoy in life instead of occupying our time with TV!CarolBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14413758057100392468noreply@blogger.com
