it's amazing to think that we've only been at war for 13 days. it feels much longer.
i have had several people ask me if i will go back to watching television once lent is over. i honestly don't know. i must say that i have enjoyed my tv-free life immensely. much more than i ever thought i would. the scary thing is that my not turning on the tv, etc. has influenced others. paul and i are both doing this sacrifice together. my roommates have hardly touched the tv. i've had almost no invites to attend movies.
i did, however, catch a few glimpses of the war coverage. it honestly makes me sick to my stomach. the concept of 'shock and awe' is one that i actually do support. i believe, as i understand the purpose of s&a is, that america should be informed of the horrors of war. we live in a terribly sheltered society, under false ideas of freedom. what i disagree with, and consequentially what makes me ill, is the way that the coverage is used. the motives do not seem to be for the right reasons and that saddens me.
i think i will not watch television if the war is still continuing. i have completely lost any appeal for american idol, etc. it is useless.
such irony in weekend of real and personal love at court & kurt's wedding set up against the horrible backdrop of war. |
