the movies.

we sit ain a dark room and watch bright pictures on a big screen and these images elicit emotional reactions in us that are indistinguishable from the ones we usually experience in the world outside.

we know that the situations are contrived and the people are actors but we get the feelings nonetheless.

interesting.

going to the movies is a way for us to choose the feelings we want to have inside. horror movies are designed to scare, adventures thrill and love stories, well, they do all sorts of things don`t they?

entertainment is a way to take control of our nervous system and dose ourselves with whichever emotion we want to have inside.

so why do we insist on standing for mediocre types of imput the rest of the time?

is it because we are unaware of the fact and don`t believe we have the ability to do anything about it?

so where do the shit feelings come from that make us desperate for diversions such as movies or sports or t.v.?

the media it`s self.

if you spend a week away from t.v., newspapers, magazines of the popular variety and people who repeat the headlines like they are the first, what do you think will happen to you?

do you want to find out?

all you have to do is cut out the list in the last paragraph for a week and i guarantee you`ll never go back. in fact you`ll find that media so abhorent that you`ll wonder how you fell into consuming in in the first place.


then you can fill your time up with anything else you want to................
