We Love Train Wrecks!
The irony in that statement is astounding to me, but I dare you to try to deny it. Let’s look at this literally.
- How many times have you slowed down to see a car crashed on the side of the road? (Everyone does it!)
- How many of you watch “Honey Boo Boo”, “The Jersey Shore”, “Orange County Housewives” etc…? (Huge ratings means someone is watching)
- How many viral videos have you watched where people damn near kill themselves? (Millions of page views per day on You Tube prove this one)
I am a little disturbed by this and I am not sure why?
I think it is because we should be spending our time a little more wisely. Don’t get me wrong, I like to be entertained…but, what does it say about our society when we glorify ridiculous behavior? I think this is a problem.
I do not have a solution.
If I did, I would see more people engaging in productive conversations that garner solutions to societal problems. If I had the answer, we would be supporting true Artists, Musicians, Film Directors and Performers who train hard for their craft…instead of trash tv. If I had the answer, we would all be enjoying each others company MORE at our local restaurants, pubs, and cafes.
I wish I knew the answer!!!
Well, since I don’t, I will just try to lead by example.
Im Your Ad Guy 
So true! Yep, all you can do is lead by example.
