I pretend I don't like watching TV. I have for a long time. It has become completely second nature to me at this point. So second nature, that I think I forgot why I originally started telling myself the lie.
I can accept it. I like watching television. But the lie serves a purpose too. It keeps me from doing too much of something I like to do, but that can become obsessive. It keeps me from forsaking other things that I may find less comfortable, but ultimately lead to new experiences.
Most everything on Television is pretty stupid. But sometimes its not all that bad to have something that helps you shut your brain off for a little while. I just can't say it isn't tempting to leave the television on and your brain shut off when you should be turning the television off and your brain back on. So I'll keep on telling myself the slightly uncomfortable lie: I hate watching television. If only to keep myself from leaving my brain in the off position.
