a CRITICAL THINKING

I've been telling Daniel (my brother) that he is way too critical. I've told him that you know in the end of the day, you should think of the positive things, and be thankful cos life is hard enough and thinking about it all , it wont do any good to this fragile persons that we are and so, we should concentrate on the positive stuff. i don't positive stuff like a new car that you saw in a TVshow- if that what keeps you going, you need to reorganise your priorities in life. but that's what Daniel was saying..that that's what people do. they see these idealistic things or situations or lifestyles in the media, in TV, movies etc etc and that changes their perspectives. and their new ideas and understandings of life, of 'living', its not real anymore. the situations, even hard situations in media..they are SO different from the ones in real life. i mean even the TV show- doctor house- i mean the doctor is like an old,bad pickle and they solve these mystical illnesses and diseases and yet every time the show has a happy ending. so Daniel was saying that the more we watch TV or movies or play computer games, the more we are influenced by the reality that is not even real. but it starts controlling our lives and our thoughts.
Daniel has been telling me that ppl need to think more critical...have a more critical view over life. i haven't agreed so far..but today, after our conversation, i told him that i don't watch TV (and i have been wanting to stay away from it on the weekends as well, when i come home, and i always tell the boys to turn it off or watch smth that educates,,) anyway,and I'm definitely not watching movies half as much as i used to..if at all (just occasionally something)...and even computer...i want to spent less and less time behind my beautiful mac as well...just because i want to spend more time with God...and THAT is a CRITICAL THINKING (that's what Dann said)!!! and that's when i agreed that critical thinking is SO needed in nowadays society and every person should put more effort in it. you know where when and how exactly YOU should do it...so get right on it! and may God give you wisdom while doing it!
