The latest fashion in television is making shows where famous people gather and talk about their lives.The new element is that they don't only talk about what they have succeeded in life but they drink, eat and dance together. The studio looks like a club and everyone seems to be having so much fun! The strange thing is that these shows have very high ratings which means that many people are watching those shows.
I feel it is so sad that people don't have money to go out and instead they stay in and watch these shows of other people having fun. But even without money there is surely so many better things that one can do inside the house.We can relax ,we can communicate with each other, we can create and we can do trivial everyday things that make life meaningfull. But instead we have learned to live in a lie and we have forgotten that we too have a life to live.
I have a friend that he is the complete opposite. He is always outside on the street. He is at my age and when he finishes work he goes to the square and hangs out with his friends. He is going through Athens with his bike and almost every day he watches an underground music concert. I was always telling him that you can not be all the time outside, it's impossible, and that you can have fun inside the house as well.Well he told me that when you stay inside the house you don't meet new people and you forget to communicate.You don't learn about life inside the walls and this is exactly what society wants.
Mindless people watching TV.
Although his lifestyle is a bit extreme it is better being outside sitting in the square all day than watching other people to live their lives on television.Watching famous people selling a plastic lifestyle and fake emotions.
