Watching TV - A time killing mechanism!!

Today most of the youngsters tend to spend a part of their daily life in watching television (TV). And they don't know why their TVs are switched-on for most of the time. They wander around the TV-channels endlessly by pressing on TV-remote keys mindlessly.

You believe, they have excuse for such a hazardous habit. The excuse is 'relaxation'.

I relate watching TV (mindlessly) to smoking cigarettes. Both have two in common. First, both reduces our time that should be spent for ourselves. Yes, cigarettes reduces our life span by bringing death earlier. TV is bit different. It takes away part of our time from our life span. Second, people who are habitual to both says they do it for relaxation.

I can say these people can be categorized into anyone of the following:

1. They don't know the actual meaning of relaxation.
2. They think they can use relaxation as a shield to hide their weakness/inability to keep these modern day devils under their check.
