Television and Media Addiction

While most people remain unaware of it, television brings people and scenes into our homes that we would never accept in our lives. The low-quality entertainment produced by the mass media is made more interesting by being spiced with rapidly changing images and sounds as well as scenes of sex and violence. As a result, such entertainment produces Anger, Disgust, Fear, and Sadness. These disagreeable emotions make people so confused that they become completely addicted to intense sensory input.

While modern commerce can only sustain itself by increasingly stimulating our senses, we remain free to join this frenzy or not.

The extreme sensory input that is typical in modern society keeps our mind confused and not focussed. (The confused mind leads to Fear, Sadness, Anger, and Disgust.) Thus in order to get our emotions under control, we need to do some television-fasting and media-fasting.

Rather Be Positively Focused

When the focus is directed inside or toward calming, uniform, and positive sensory input, the effect of disturbing sensory input from the environment can be reduced to a mere fraction. Even on a hectic street, there may be a beautiful little flower growing in between some concrete slabs and inner mantra recitation (singing a song inside you, or reciting OM mantra) is always an available option.

Would love to hear your thoughts on television and media addiction. : )
