It is a simple but gut-wrenching question I pose today: Why do we willingly expose ourselves to things we do not agree with or support for the sake of entertainment?
We watch TV, we see movies, we read books, and we listen to music knowing that the content of some of the things we put into our minds are not of preferred quality, many of which are often of no quality whatsoever but are instead detrimental to our thoughts. Why? It seems true that, in our society, entertainment is more important than wholesome personal growth. I ask myself (and you might do the same), "Is it possible it has become such on a personal level with me, and not only in society at large? Have I made my temporal pleasure more important than who and what I am and that which I am becoming?"
Why is it this way, if such is the case?
Or are these even questions worth asking?
To keep things inside is to bury them, and all things buried are normally dead things. If it is worth being allowed to live, then it is worth sharing.

These questions are very worth asking. We cannot blame society for our own ills, but we so often follow society's ills rather than choosing the health and salvation that is offered to us. What if we did only choose to expose ourselves to that which is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy? Uh-oh. . . we wouldn't be able to watch the evening news! I think that would be a good thing.
