Give Up Entertainment?

Crazy Hypothetical*

If you had to give up one form of entertainment (TV, Music, Movies, Books, Sports Etc.) completely or you would die, which one would you choose? You can’t cross platform, like watch TV on your computer, or wait till a book comes out as a movie. Whatever you choose it must be completely cut off, can’t hear music in an elevator, can read an instruction manual, or talk about the big game.

What would be your choice? What would be your last choice? What choice would be the hardest to avoid? What choice would change your life the most? What choice would isolate you the most? What does this say about entertainment in our lives?

*Crazy Hypothetical is a mental game that gives you a conditional choice that gets you thinking about a subject. I used these for several years as discussion starters in Bible class. The best ones can’t be answered “correctly”. This one is a great way to focus on how much popular media is in our lives and how the negative aspects of that media have on our soul.
