OUR BLACK HOLE
A black hole is all of the things that distracts us from studies
or distracts us from doing our work or sends us astray from our goal and
instead leads us to the wrong direction and the wrong path of life and by doing
all of these things we start to get bad grades in our school, we start to fail
many subjects, and sometimes we even start committing bad habits such as taking
drugs which may affect our health and life greatly.
The two main black holes of our life that sucks up all of our time
is television and internet, as many people say that a television set is like a
one-eyed ghost in ones house. A television sucks up most of the free time that
many teenagers have, instead of going out of the house and play soccer or
basketball in the fresh air many teenagers and also adults and young children
like to spend their time indoors in front of the television.
The main reason why televisions are so addictive is due to the
amount of series on the TV itself, one channel may contain about ten to twenty
TV shows each one different and much more interesting than the other, and
because all of these shows are so interesting many of us like to spend our time
watching these shows. On average, a teenager spends 3-4 hours watching TV that
makes 21-28 hours a week. The 28 hours a teenager wastes on watching TV can be
spent on doing valuable, intellectual and knowledgeable stuff such as reading
books during your free time and thus increasing your vocabulary.
Another reason why
televisions are our black hole is the lust and the greed of being popular at
school. Teenagers normally have the psychology that if you watch a lot of shows
or movies or if you spend more time watching series it will make you popular and
everyone will start to call you and more people will know you.
Television is a powerful weapon that destroys ‘family time’. TV
sucks up most of the time leaving no space for one to interact with their
family or have conversations with them. This is because, we are so much
engrossed in watching TV that we do not have time or do not want to sit down
with our family and have beautiful conversations. Here, we give the television
more importance than your family and this prevents you to spend time with them.
Internet is another reason why we waste a lot of our time because,
the internet contains the information of everything that there is in this
world, you name it and you will find it on the net and if by chance you don’t
find what you are looking for on Google, then you can use social networking
sites such as Ask.com and people will answer your questions in the blink of the
eye. We often start searching the net to look for something informative however
end up on different social networking sites socializing thus wasting a
lot of time and end up spending 2-3 hours per day socializing.
