I guess a lot of it has to do with what one would personally expect out of him or herself and then seeing if those goals are being met. It's very difficult and is like at certain points or maybe for awhile, it would be like feeling numb to everything and just doing it for going along with the flow. More often than not, it could bring a person down if this expectation also has a certain time frame because life isn't always going to roll along smoothly like that. It's the truth and possibly thinking in a different matter is going to be important to ensure a successful outcome.
Life is just filled with so many distractions that cater to this individualism of feeling lost and seeking to be entertained to just fill the nights. Man, it can get boring sometimes and I just don't know how people just can manage to stand it. It's depressing to sit there watching episodes and then to get the dreaded re-runs! I guess since television is catered to the general audience and those TV companies want to make money off of them, they would coyly make the user feel like he or she is in power and can judge which is the best show. It's just how it's always been and the content that's being presented took a lot of preparation and money, so it would have to be this entertaining material that investors would be able to profit off the masses.
I guess it's just about getting carried away that can happen and then it leads to so much time being lost from being exposed to this clingy subject or matter and out of that, it naturally can lead to a comfortable living for the author of it. We definitely have the right to choose what to be supportive of in the end and for whatever reasons. It's just that sometimes our hearts might be too weak to stay resilient and we end up giving up something that's important especially our time and feeling sheepish about it. I really don't regret the money and planning I put into it last week to enjoy a weekend hiking trip with a friend. It was an excellent rush and totally enlightening.
