Joy and Meaning in Movies and Television

"Everything will be all right in the end. If it's not all right, it is not yet the end." ~ The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

With a plethora of content and much more to browse through on two dozen OTT / internet streaming media— one can never know what is worth watching as per their personality, preference and mood. You may spend as much time browsing as actually viewing something.

Well, many times, Amazon, Google and Microsoft may know more and suggest you the best, most quixotic, adventurous content—as they know you better than you know yourself. Maybe they know and understand you better than your parents and friends.

I digress….there is joy and wisdom to be found in everything. Any good movie will teach you things…a bad one will teach you a whole lot more. After all, you can’t improve what you feel is well-done, however, your mind may cook up something if you feel you can do better than the filmmaker whose poduction you disliked enough to switch genre (or switch OTT content provider).

How about you note down just one learning from every content you watched or binge watched. Wouldn’t that resolve the guilt of having procrastinated household work and errands and project presentation in favor of staring at the streaming HD media?

So try that and comment if you enjoyed doing that.

No reviews of content needed.

Simply watch whatever your heart, mind, Big Tech data spy desires and then write down one learning everytime you watch the television. It’s better than a cookie-dollar-swear-jar because you will just buy more unhealthy cookies with the money in the jar. Instead, fill up a notebook with wisdom from the idiot box. Why? ‘cause it all can be better! Just watch it!

That’s why they say learning can be fun! Watch TV, learn, note it down, share your wisdom from the widescreen.

For the aforesaid quote—everything can be solved if you persist and persevere. Most of success, invention and creativity is discipline and perseverance. So, it is never the end—you can always make things better. If nothing else, improve upon yourself compared to yesterday.
