I think it's great if you want to live without TV or watch it less and do better things with your time, or only watch educational TV.

I have to say though that I like my TV and I don't think it's evil. I would not give it up completely because I like to watch TV and I think it can be educational, stimulating, relaxing, informative, it has several benefits. Of course there are negative aspects too.

I usually only watch things I like. I don't only watch it when I'm bored and I'm not bored when I'm watching it, I watch it because it's what I want to do at that moment.

It«s simple really. I don't get the way people always talk about TV like it's a terrible thing that ruins people's minds and lives...as long as you know who's in control

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

Fernando Pessoa, 1918
