A few things will run by a person that bothers them that are easily dismissed as part of life. Asi es la vida. C’est la vie. That’s how the cookie crumbles.
What is it called when a lot of crumbles litter the path of one’s daily stroll? I have no idea. It seems to me, from reading headlines, living life in general, the Such is life, moments are too plentiful.
In the end zone of life, being old, priorities can be adjusted for how we entertain ourselves. The structure of television, streaming, channels, and such, the selection is immense. There are features on my Google smart television I have not explored yet. And it is not even a high end TV model (aka it’s a cheap TV).
A skill to learn is how to blend attitude to what is offered. I love the mystery and drama genres. What I no longer have the emotional slot for is intense violence and suspense. I will turn the channel, use mute through certain scenes or stop watching.
And here’s the catch. Given the increase in on screen time watching and reading on the Internet, the boundary between film and reality has become thin. Once I could sit through could anything on film, I now cringe and avoid regularly. My brain accepts the fakery of film as a nearer reality than it should be. We are conditioning ourselves to form new parameters that identify the reality experience.
It is sad to think that someday I will have evolved myself out of enjoying a tasteful horror film so much so that I’ll never enjoy blocking my ears, pulling a blanket over my head or running out of the room during the scariest parts.

I'm with you on mystery vs. violent thrillers. There's enough violence without adding it to my "fun time."
ReplyDeleteJeanie,
DeleteGood point. Fun time has to be protected.
I might start watching movies again, nice Hallmark type films.
May
I too have lost interest in certain types of films and tv.. I can no longer stomach it.
ReplyDeleteHena,
DeleteYouTube and the library shelves have better selections.
May
I, too, refuse to watch horror shows, or any about wars. Daily life can be scary enough without adding such things. I'm a Hallmark movie fan although I do enjoy some of the mystery shows on tv.
ReplyDeleteMaryanne,
Delete“Tracker,” on CBS is a good program, but tends to have too much gun action.
I like the show for its mystery aspect.
May
Yes, I like Tracker too and we're fans of the NCIS series of shows. Started watching a good one out of Australia called 'Harrow' and we also enjoy 'Perception'.
