Something Snapped

After watching "Doctor Sleep" with Rebecca Fergusan and Ewan McGregor, I followed up with "Bring Her Back" with Sally Hawkins. All are fine actors but the content related to Satanic practices and child abduction and murder. I followed up with Tom Hardy in "Havoc" about crime gangs with the inevitable murder and mayhem. Actually I only watched the start of "Havoc" before exiting. I'd had enough. Something snapped in me and I asked myself why am I watching this. 

This is what people are consuming on a regular basis at the expense of the written word. I asked the question "is reading declining" and here was the response:

Yes, reading, particularly for pleasure, is declining. Studies indicate a decrease in reading frequency and engagement across various demographics, including younger generations. This trend is attributed to the rise of digital media, changes in educational approaches, and evolving societal habits. 

I've fallen into this trap myself, favouring watching over reading. However, the increasingly woke content in recent movies and series has increasingly annoyed me and helped make me ripe for "snapping". There's so much more that I could be doing with the limited time remaining to me than watching this current cinematic crap. I must limit my "watching" and increase my reading. 

I also need to spend more time on exercises like Qidong but I'll write more about that in my "Staying Healthy" blog. I must resume my chess playing that has been put on hold ever since I set foot in Australia. I'm in need of a major reset. If I don't initiate it myself then it may be initiated on my behalf.
