"The hours spent viewing TV are hours not available for actively participating in the real world, or playing, or being involved with friends and family. Watching television is an individual activity that tends to discourage interaction with others; as viewing time increases, family communication time decreases.

The more we look through the eyes of wisdom at ourselves and one another, the more we cultivate a compassionate heart.”
