Comment why is television singled out? (Score 1) 193
i watch tv for entertainment, and the more selective i am in what i watch, i increase the quality of entertainment i receive. this increases the chance for me to receive a side-effect of entertainment...happiness.
to me entertainment does not equal happiness; it's just a causeway that sometimes leads there. social or solitary. it does not matter. most people like to read in a room vacant of human annoyances, so they can be fully immersed or entertained with whatever book.
tv, music, movies, sports, eating, exercising, and beating prostitutes with bats are all forms of entertainment, and an extrapolated purpose for them all is a level of escapism.
maybe if shit never oozed out of this planet, leaving us all eternally happy, we would never be in need of stupid things, like the Arts.
