Being constantly entertained often numbs the mind.
Modern society spends much time and money trying to be entertained on a regular basis. There is no challenge in being entertained. Just sit back in a chair and let your mind take in the images, colours, and the sounds and lay the work of the rest of your mind to rest. Humans are supposed to relax at times yes, but we were created to be very active and it is through people being inactive and eating wrong that people are suffering in their health.

The best healthy entertainment is doing something with your own life. Not only do we feel better when we do things fun and physical we also feel that we have accomplished something and our confidence grows with each experience and this gives us courage. Love is made of experiences “we must experience”, not watch, read about etc, love is for living.
This isn’t about work or sports, it is about being active mentally and physically during your day, making, building, thinking, having fun and being with good people.
°
T.V. and movies give people a false courage from watching other people deal with life and do things that we wish we could do, or we wished we could be the people on the movie.
Remember that the movie and fiction book is a carefully designed and constructed situation that is too perfect to be true. The actor is simply acting. It is all about money, and personal gain for a few.
°
People say that we are escaping harsh reality by being entertained or partying and that is a good thing, but really that is escaping life, it is living in denial, not facing what needs to be faced. No courage or happiness comes from running from life.
The happy, capable people of the world are clear-headed all the time and enjoy making things, fixing things, helping people, doing things and being useful. They like to read good books and not cheap books of low quality. They are charitable, kind, and get a real love of life from being active in the community.
The wise person is very careful about what they feed their mind and body.
And how they care for themselves shows in their life.
