IN OTHER WORLDS 1d

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE IN OTHER WORLDS 1d "Curb your enthusiasm" Hard to believe, it has been 10 days without me writing a post, probably the longest break in years. A stress test, Christmas, heart cath, new years. Blah blah. All excuses, I am not dead yet. Atleast not that I remember. I tried to watch the doctor putting in stents, but kept dozing off, I did watch the probe at my heart before being totally out, I am fine. Thanks. I told you a while back, about three months ago, I had started to watch "Peaky Blinders", I really don't like to watch TV, I like to read, but it was actually a good show, if you have seen it and want to talk about it. I also started, now, to watch "Wednesday", I'll probably not watch the whole thing, I watched the first episode, I like it, it is dark. I have always ctricized TV, because watching a show requires full attention and engagement, you don't actually have time to do much critical thinking, take or leave it. It is not like a book where you stop reading and do some contemplating. Some critical thinking, may be even argue against the hypothesis. TV is entertainment as well as education. So many people that we talk to often get their opinions form our favorite channels, and we keep watching the same people saying the same things over soany times that we start to believe that we actually know something. Neither here nor there. It is not about the politics or the economy, not about the left or the right. Just look around and notice. We humans are copy cats, like it or not, we are influenced by our family, by our neighbors, teachers, and ofcourse by the books that we read and shows that we watch. We have families of doctors, families of lawyers, families of policemen, families of firefighters, families of politicians even. We do what we see others do, grooming is done by the family, grooming is something that happens everywhere all day, naturally. Grooming is not a cuss word. What do they scriptures say about raising a child, yes!! Years ago I had brought up the subject of "peer pressure", it is valid in all walks of life, and not just in politics, remember we banned the cigarette advertising, we had campaigns against drug use, the beer ads don't show anyone actually drinking. But wait. I WILL WRITE MORE SOON I PROMISE HAPPY NEW YEAR M. N. R. 02 JANUARY 2023
