"For each of us there is some mission in life if we but find it. All have some definite thing to do, something for which they have been created; and only the doing of this thing will justify their existence here on earth. If we come into the world and occupy space and time without giving back for this privilege, we have not justified ourselves, and our lives in the end are barren." ~ Hay

What the bleep is with all the television sets?

Recently I was in New York City for a wedding.  We took a taxi from the hotel to the ceremony.  Upon entering the back of the cab, there was a television set.  Seriously!  In fact, we took four cab rides and in each cab there was a television set mounted to the back of the front passenger seat.  Why in the world would anybody want to watch television when sitting in the back of a cab in New York City?

...and in the elevator at the hotel.

Television sets can be found at gas stations, banks and grocery store checkout lines.  They are popping up all over business establishments.
I find it insulting.  Yes….I said insulting!  I don’t need my mind occupied with television everywhere I go.  I purposely have to direct my gaze elsewhere.  I bet you think, no big deal, just look away.  However, it’s basic human nature to look.  When I’m on line at the grocery store and see a television set right in my face, I have to turn my body in a different direction and not look up, especially because “mostly negative news” is on.
I don’t watch television at home.  Mostly because I am too busy and have a lot going on in my life.  When I’m out and about, I don’t need the constant chatter of a television set in my brain.  I am perfectly capable of creating my own chatter.  I recommend that you do the same.  TURN OFF THE TELEVISION SET!  And direct your gaze elsewhere if around one.
