blinded by tv?
: Nadh tengah buat apa?
> tengok tv!
: cerita apa?
> Tadi baru habis Barney, abis sekarang Fire trucks.
: Hmmmmph.. ok, lepas ni pegi baca buku pulak.
> Kenapa?
: Tak nak lah, asik tengok tv aje..
> Kalau tengok tv aje, nanti mata kita buta?
: Ha? :D ... takde lah buta. cuma nanti tak pandai sangat.

Come to think of it though.. it can make us 'buta' (blind).
Blind in the sense that, we don't see the real world. And our main purpose in life, is left obscure.
When we watch too much tv, our views are veiled.
Veiled by... the bland dramas, the exaggerrated movies, the only-in-your-dreams heros, the unbelievably-flawless heroines, the as-if-bigger-than-life stars, the loud music, the endless entertainment, the not-so-real-reality tv shows, the basically-going-after-ball(s) sports, the overrated advertisements, the one-sided opinionated news.
That's a bit too much, don't you think?
I'm sure we have so many other, more useful and important things to accomplish - than to stay rooted for HOURS in front of that stationary black box*, and continue to be blinded.
*yeap..sometimes it's silver and slim.

Help!!!! I can't see!!!! =)
I agree with you but then again tv also helps us to open our eyes to thnigs around the world that we can only imagine unless we travel far and wide to those parts of the world. Not to mention tv being a media for educating minds in many aspects both worldly or spiritual.
ah yes.. of course.. there ARE certain programmes which are educational, insightful.
we only have to compare the time taken to watch those and to watch the others. AND to do other non-TV stuff. heh.
guilty of blindness-by-TV.
in the process of cutting my TV time.
istiqamah needed. and loads of self-discipline.
yep, blinded I am, guilty as charged. huhuhu.
marlina, am,
tau takper.. :D
tapi yang important, kita semua always strive for the better.
I agree with u bloss, that we always have to strive for the better - consistently.
