Hey! Congratulations ! 5 years is quite an accomplishment and further more, to stay away from family influences in a conscious way. Very nice!

Documentaries are very cool, I enjoy watching them too, it help to have a good education in many domains.

Not watching TV is the best way to keep your mind sane.

Amen to this! So many people function in a state of fear or hatred because of the "news" served to them. They have no idea why their day is off, they think the whole world is out to get them. Infection of the mind through the TV , it is sad to watch. And somehow scary to see how the human mind can be so easily manipulated through fear.

A lot of people use TV as a silence breaker. Why must silence be something bad? Shouldn't people who love each other's company be pleased to share a silent moment of peace together? I quite never understood this and I always found myself feeling deeply uncomfortable whenever I had to go to family meals where the TV was loudly on.

I truly desire that more people give up the TV. They would discover a new way of living and communicating with loved ones.
