I Have Completed Watching 1000 Shows
Wow Man, You are so cool! I don't have that time much or I would have also.
Another Friend- You are missing a lot of fun bro, have you watched that. It's dope, you should finish the season early.
Is it really?
Most of my friend circle earlier and still now is like this, lol. Not that I have a bad say about this but it is what it is. Whenever we meet we mostly promote and talk about entertainment and fun.
First of all, sorry for the inactivity. I was too exhausted from the evening party and wasn't able to write and read anything. As you know I am going with no drafts mode, haha. It's a type of test for research purposes and the test subject is me.
Without entertainment, life feels so boring. But a question to some don't you think half of your life's time is being spent on those entertainments?
Here entertainment means mostly watching shows, movies and playing games.
The young generation today loves to involve themselves in this activity as it is the easiest and most effective way to experience fantasy level things which are capable to give you a sense of enjoyment in your boring frustrated life. Oh not that I am old, lol. I belong to the same gen.
It's just that I find 99% of people love to use their time in entertainment. It's like a fricking competition who can watch more shows and who's the most updated one. Have you ever checked how much time you are using of your life watching shows and movies?
My Experience:-
I used to watch Animes day and night sometimes till midnight hours. It was fun, I was having my moment of enjoyment and satisfaction. Watching those reel life stories filled with powers, emotions and fantasy gave this introvert a world to enjoy his time. I learnt a lot of good and bad things.
Realisation
Later I realised what this entertainment is costing. As a young one, I realised I have more free time than adults, kids as well as old people. I have more control over my time and what am I doing pleasuring myself with some Fantasy shows and movies which are not giving me any heads up of what to do next in my life. I am blocking my creativity and time to do something. All because I find that activity more pleasurable. Don't you think a movie and eating popcorn or pizza with a cold drink, feels like a heavenly combo.
I realised this is the number one reason youths don't do anything interesting in their life because they are already involved in something which is giving pleasure, and when you are in pleasure you will never think out of the box. From the age of 15-22, I noticed the easiest and most effective way to make friends and have conversations is to talk about shows or movies.
If you talk about how to earn money or about any futuristic things related to a career. Lol, Stay away scammer. We are youths we should enjoy our life. Oh bro, do you think this is the only way how you enjoy life then you are just a slave. Who is controlled by these shows and games?
I know for most of them playing games and watching shows are the best companion to escape from their frustrated life and bad mood. But we end up giving more time to them.
Playing games or watching shows is the number one reason why people procrastinate a lot and never reach their set goals.
Let me tell you a thing, the enjoyment and pleasure are more than you can imagine what we get watching and playing those when we reach our desired goals.
Final Thoughts
I didn't mean to say it's a bad thing to do. I just mean that we youths are too focused and feeding our minds with these things which are blocking our creativity and full potential. A successful young person also does those activities but they try to utilise them in their way. Like I have seen many people writing content about what they watch, their summary and their thoughts. They are getting enjoyment as well using it for business purpose. Same in gaming, see a streamer or a competitive player they are getting most from this entertainment source. Same with TikTokers though I hate that platform, cringe things get more views than quality things. The watchers don't get much from it but those who make videos, they may get.
More than 80% of youth spend half of their daily hours on entertainment sources. And this is the main reason why most of us can't do much in life because we used the time for pleasure, not for skill learning and all.
My entertainment source is shifted from gaming and shows to blogging platforms. I find all the genres here. It's not comparable to those visual shows but it is in its own league. And just in case I feel bored I watch or play them, not more than 1-2 hours and that also occasionally. Otherwise, I don't touch or even think about them.
In fact, shows are so interesting to watch, that we can learn many interesting things if we pick the correct genre. Feeding yourself with love, and romance changes one's views towards those topics they expect and set different expectations from each other which is completely different in real life. Mature people can differentiate what to pick and what to not from these shows or movies but as youths we feel, this is the correct way. While it's not.
I just want to say there are other ways to entertain yourself. People are now finding ways to enjoy their work and replacing their other entertainment sources like me, haha. If you are a goal-oriented person and want to achieve goals in the fixed time which you set then just spent as less time as you can on these. If you are making from those sources, go for it and spend as much as your time. But if not, cut some hours and try to think. If sitting and watching or 1 hour of hustling is enough to improve your life and financial status?
Give more time to those things which will help you survive well in future that way you won't be stressed further in life when you reach that age for your future or life.
Wow, I went overboard in this topic. Thanks for your precious time.
