Whether you call the television an idiot box or a source of information, did you ever think how much it has influenced your relationship with your family members and also your social life...
Try answering these questions -
When was the last time you decided to spend some quality time with your family rather than watching television ??
When was the last time all the family members had dinner together on the dining table without watching television ??
When was the last time you decided to go out with your family to some park for some fresh air rather than watching some movie/awards function on the TV ???
How attentive are you to what your kids are doing or some important matter is being discussed by your spouse when you are watching your favourite program ??
When was the last time you felt that it is better to meditate/exercise or pursue your hobbies or do something constructive rather than watching some programme that wouldnt benefit you in anyway ???
Well, if you dont have answers to any of these questions then probably the television has penetrated into your life in such a manner that it is controlling your life in some way or the other..
Television is a source of entertainment and there are no doubts about the number of interesting programs and channels that increase your knowledge and widen your perspective in life..However it is really important that we dont let go small pleasures and memorable moments of our life for the sake of television..
So, it is crucial that we make this big decision of not letting television rule over us. Lets ensure that we watch TV during free time and not all the time..
