“We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” – Zeno
The 23rd Television Psalm
The TV is my Shepherd, I shall not want. It makes me to lie down on the sofa. It leads me away from the faith. It assaults my soul. It leads me in the paths of sex and violence for the sponsor’s sake.
Yea, though I walk in the shadow of Christian responsibilities, there will be no interruption, for the TV is with me, It’s cable and it’s remote control, they comfort me.
It prepares a commercial before me in the presence of my worldliness. It anoints my head with humanism and consumerism.
My coveting runneth over. Surely laziness and ignorance shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house watching TV forever.
A Great Writer
There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire become a great writer. When asked to define “great,” he said, “I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream in disbelief, cry in despair, howl in pain, and vent their anger in ways they’ve never dreamed of!”
He now works for Microsoft, writing error messages.
