tv in heaven

I used to ask myself the same thing….then I realized…..It doesn’t matter…..I used to think I would be missing something but am I really? After all If I see it what would it help me with in real life? what benefit does it provide me with other than knowing what happened in a fictional world to a fictional character?…. I no longer care….T.V is nothing but a distraction and propaganda tool anyway….When I end my life I will not miss anything from this world except the past

On another note:

I don’t necessarily think that professional athletes are overpaid. I just think that almost everyone else is Underpaid. To dedicate one’s life and risk one’s highly developed and finely tuned physical body, to a “game,” or a coordinated but non-predetermined contest… takes a very special kind of person. Most typical people would not have any chance of performing competitively on that level.

But yes, some of them are certainly obscenely overpaid. Lebron comes to mind. But if run a multi-billion-dollar organization whose success is determined by paying the absolute best athletes to dedicate their best efforts toward winning… i think you’d probably agree that you should just spend the money on those “supermen.”

On the other hand, the entire “professional sports” industry seems primarily motivated by advertisement, endorsement, and selling lots of products to consumers. What an elaborate way of going about convincing someone to buy apparel… or whatever the “superstars” happen to be paid to endorse.

And then there’s the “huge distraction” aspect. It’s just another fantasyland mindset to keep people from thinking about “important” things, so that bad or unjust things can be done, and we’ll just ignore or accept them, because hey, we want to know who wins. We want to know how the story ends. We can’t wait for the season premier, after that season-finale cliffhanger!

Whether or not it started out as such, it sure helps facilitate the mass mind-control. Those who wake up, see it, try to awaken others, and try to break away, are the ones who end up getting called “crazy,” shunned, ostracized, and ultimately pushed out of this life… and out of the way.

But like Dawg said: TV in “heaven?” Sure, why not. Heaven is whatever you want to imagine it to be… while you are alive to imagine it. That’s the point of being told that a “heaven” exists. It’s supposed to help us feel better about things we’ll never have or do or be, and will be unable to change, in this life. If your idea of heaven involves watching TV… then i suppose that’s what you need it to be.”
