I put my 65" TV out for sale today.

My grandma Eva used to live out in the forest, on Paradise Road 1 in Trollhättan. If someone sent a letter to Eva in Paradise, Trollhättan Sweden, she would get the letter. When she got older, they told her she got lung cancer and would die within a year. After a years time, she went for another doctors visit, they told her she had probably half a year left. Half a year went, they told her she was lucky and probably had another quarter of a year. This went on for years like this. She started living very much in the here and now, with no expectations of the future. My dad offered to give her a TV. After a week, she gave it back. Life is too short to watch propaganda and mindless entertainment. She would go out in her garden, lay down and look at bumble bees. Saying, it's so beautiful... She lived for 10-20 more years with lung cancer. What killed her wasn't cancer, but falling and breaking her hip. Being placed in a retirement home, her health and sanity quickly degraded.

I think about her now that I had a weekend of being hypnotised by my television. My stress levels increase, because I sense I shouldn't watch it. Never watch news, but I do watch series and movies. But lately, everything, EVERYTHING on it, feels like a propaganda brainwashing machine. Stealing my life and energy, sucking it out of me. No more. Fuck television. Fuck Netflix.
