Happy Thursday.
I hope this day is one of your best days of 2010. Go out and make it happen.
I have been assiduous, working on my personal affairs that need improving. When one day my friend was watching a program on his television, and it suddenly dawned on me. With so many reality shows being forced on the American audience. It came to me that we do not need reality shows we make our own reality.
I was conversating with this same friend of mine, and I shared with him that most Americans sit back, and watch other people living their lives. These "reality show"s are nothing more than certain people, most celebrities, who are living life in the fast lane, and getting paid for it, opening their lives for entertainment purposes. While on the other hand, the unsuspecting consumer is watching others live their lives, while their lives past right on by. And the days keep creeping by.
Does this make any sense to you?
I should hope not. Why would anyone want to sit back on their sofa, chair or whatever piece furniture he/she may use, and watch others "live" and their lives die a slow death? It is unbelievable to me. Most people do not take the time to actually think this through. ok. Let us break this down to it smallest denominator.
The factor: The reality shows. Whichever. It does not really make a different, which one we focus on for our limited purpose . They are all basically the same. The premise is of some celebrity living his/her life in the public domain. While the public sit back and be entertained. We actually consciously choose to sit and watch people live their lives. Is this not the basic premise of reality shows?
Reality-the state or quality of being real;real things, facts, or events taken as a whole.
Life-the condition that distinguishes organisms from inorganic objects and dead organisms, being manifested by growth through metabolism, reproduction, and the power of adaptation to environment through changes originating internally.
Limited-onfined within limits; restricted or circumscribed.
Limit-he final, utmost, or furthest boundary or point as to extent, amount, continuance, procedure.
Watch-to be alertly on the lookout, look attentively, or observe, as to see what comes, is done, or happens: to contemplate or regard mentally.
Why is the American audience so interested in the lives of other people, or more specifically celebrities? Can anyone tell me this? I find it apalling and insulting that the producers of these reality shows can think so little of the American audience. It is as though we have nothing better to do than watch other people's lives while ours are put on the back burner.
Are you interested in watching some of these rich celebrities prance around in their limos and fancy "name brand" clothes reminding us of what we do not have? The "thigs" that we could have if only we would get our behinds off of the couch, bed, chair or whatever you sit on to watch these programs, up and live our own lives. Do we really need to be reminded that we have a life, and our family need us? Do I need to remind you that your children need you? Remember they have homework, or need to eat, and what about the clothes that need to be washed.
In other words, we have our own lives to live. Remember? I am NOT interested in watching others live the good life while, on the other hand, I struggle dailey just to survive. So you tell me who should be the audience for the reality of YOUR life?
Have a great day. Live your Life.
