Entertainment
Well I got a new thought. Its about entertainment. Let me first talk about the situation that has lead to the thought. I went to my home town after a long time. I was there for only four days, but watched a more than 16 movies. Infact I was doing nothing but watching movies or TV all the time.
So, my thought is that if we are immersed into entertainment, we never think of anything else. Its like freezing the mind for some time. And we neither improve our thinking, nor do something creative. This also happens when we are working hard at something and totally involve ourselves into it. For example, when we are office. Goto office everyday, come back tired, have some entertainment and sleep - this cycle is very damaging for the mind for it halts the development of idea and understanding of the things around us.
A lot of other things that we do are also like this but are better off in some ways. Office work, sports etc. Infact most things that will involve our mind too deeply in them. One has take some time out everyweek, if not everyday, to sit back and think about understanding the bigger picture of our world. And perhaps review our behaviour and attitude towards things, our long term goals etc.
Forgive me for writing a lot of crap, but probably one will find more of it coming on my blog.
