A quote I want to share from the book 'The Sacredness of Questioning Everything' by David Dark.
(Referring to the impact of media, specifically television, on our lives):
"We get to the point that we save our strongest emotions for the people who don't exist. Or in the case of sports figures, celebrity politicians, and radio talk show hosts, we get most worked up and alive (if you can call it being alive) by the way of people we don't know and who in all likelihood don't want to know us. The living, breathing people next door or in the next cubicle or in the same house who might benefit from our showing up to them emotionally get left behind."
Makes me wonder how harmless (or harmful) TV really is...
