Turning Off the Idiot Box

The first time I heard this expression, I thought 'how freaking pretentious...who is anyone to say that people who watch TV continuously are less than'. What if a person watches the news, aren't they at least more informed about the world we live in?  How does a person unwind after a long day at the job?  

Many questions that had a simple answer...TIME.

Most people who work full-time spend precious amounts of time stuck in traffic jams.  We use our time to reach out to people who may want to spend hours talking about a boring subject or one that has yet to be resolved.  Those who like to shop will spend more time walking around than buying. The average person should have the right to spend their time as they please.

When we get older or have a life-changing event occur, we tend to change how we see time.  Sometimes, there are regrets but most people tend to seize the moment and do less procrastinating,  Even if breaking habits are hard, it's time to see new things, meet new people, or make a difference.
