My television quit working the other day. My wife and I have owned this particular television for approximately 15 years now. It’s a Sony Trinitron and it has been a good television. I am glad that it is gone and I have no intention of buying another one. I will admit that I wish it had waited a couple of months until baseball season was over. The postseason will be starting soon and I will be sorry to miss it. My wife and I both love baseball. We had been discussing doing without t.v. in our lives for a while now and pretty much agree that were it not for baseball we could easily do without it. Well, maybe not easily. I look upon t.v. as a drug. I would love to say that I am immune to its effects, but that would be a total fabrication. Merely turning a television on in a room will usually cause most people to watch it, myself included. The vast majority of what is shown on t.v. sucks.(TMZ) included. Knowing this fact, I would like to be able to say that I am able to discriminate between what, in my opinion, is mindless and what is valuable. I don’t think it works that way. Part of why I have had a television for so long is because it has allowed me to be mindless for periods of time. These days I am interested in mindfulness and no longer feel as if I have room in my life for this diversion. I grew up with a television in the house and have almost always had one in close proximity. It has only been fairly recently that I have come to realize what a negative influence it has had on me. There is so much violence on the tube that is easy to allow it to penetrate your consciousness without any realization that it has happened until it is too late. I’ve had enough! Enough mainstream news fabrications, enough Everybody loves Raymond reruns, enough stupid and condescending commercials, enough home shopping shows, enough , enough , enough…
I will be listening to baseball on the radio from now on!
