we just learned
In one sense, the United States is the busiest nation on Earth, certainly the most economically productive. However,,aion kinah, we are also a country of idlers, far too interested in non-essential things such as sports, entertainment, awards, and famous people. The art of sitting, meditating, praying, or even sleeping in a quiet room has left us. Americans now treat peace and quiet as an enemy. We won't hear of it. Entertainment rules.
As a people, we feel like we must know the latest info on everything, the very moment that it happens. Then when,Knight Noah, we get the scoop, the trusty cell phone has to be pulled-out to tell everyone what we just learned. This huge need to communicate and be a part of the bigger whole prevails, but in a bad way. Our fears and insecurities are treated with entertainment, sports, busybody acts, and gossip - versus God, prayer, and love. This should not be so. Life requires balance.
Has anyone else noticed the huge number of award shows of all types, for all activities? In today's world, any athlete, actor,,RIFT plat, singer, or dancer that doesn't win a few awards a year must be a total loser. These things are handed-out to any and everyone in each field, it seems. The same thing is true for records and statistics.,eve isk. I honestly heard a man on tv brag about another guy holding so many records for football at something like East Middle Tennessee State, or something like that! Even worse, during baseball games the announcers now have stats for everything you can possibly imagine: batting average with 2 outs and runners in scoring position ,metin2 yang,
against left-handed knuckleball pitchers? Give me a break.
