You are what you watch! Watching television isn’t always just a good time-killer. It forms your thoughts. It shapes your humanity. No wonder that television addiction is pointed out by social experts as one of the biggest inhibitors of our psychological health and adaptability. It changes too many good people into couch potatoes and robs them of their creative thoughts and active participation in life.
Choose carefully what you watch. Watch with discernment. No, you don’t have to suddenly be against everything and everyone on the ‘tube’. It won’t help to throw out the baby with the bathwater. There’s still valuable gold to be found in movies, stories, and other programs. Let your faith in Jesus Christ be the filter through which you watch television. Let your core-values of respect, caring, and integrity take new lessons from everything you watch. Share this with others. Use the lessons that you learn as conversation points to teach people to look differently, to think differently, to live differently. Let television work for you rather than the other way around.

I could not agree more, and we need to take cognance of this for sure!
