Entertainment - A predominant part of our life

                                                                 Entertainment

Films, music, sports, amusement parks, water parks, zoos, museums, cosplay conventions, circuses, magic shows…. What are these? Some things which we enjoy? These are places we visit or things we do which keep us from getting bored. They keep us happy. Entertained is another word which we can describe for what these things do. Dictionary.com states that ‘Something affording pleasure, diversion, or amusement, especially a performance of some kind’ is called Entertainment.

Entertainment is a very important and crucial part of our human life. It brings human beings together and is also a remarkable way for the entire family to the tie-in and close up the space between them if they have any. Without entertainment, we do not have any refreshments in our life. It plays a very pivotal role in living a normal and happy life. Entertainment brings happiness, which is the most powerful medicine that helps to keep our mental health and well-being. Entertaining ourself every now and then helps us drown the monotony of our daily lives. Entertaining ourself doesn’t only mean to watch movies or TV shows, going out for a quick stroll with someone special (may be a pet) is also considered entertainment, unless you do that every day and are bored of it. Traveling or going on a vacation is also considered as a form of entertainment.

Having a little entertainment in our life teaches us lots of thing (important life lessons which we only get when we experience things). It teaches us to look at things differently. What I mean, is that, it opens and stretches the way we think, gives us a wider view to expand our perspective and think out of the box. Sometimes, it even, gives us a chance to slip out of reality and go into our own fantasy. It does... And I can say it with credence because I have been a victim of this, where reality just fades away as I seep into the imaginary world. Entertainment also reduces stress form work pressure, it enhances our mental health for the better, and it makes us appreciate the artistic culture. Many people have had great influences from entertainment. It makes us dream higher and much more than what we were doing before. We can seek new goals and achieve them. Thus, entertainment has the power of giving us a new horizon and it gives us a chance of knowing ourself better. We discover parts of ourself which we never knew we had. It pushes us to our limits.

But on the other hand, entertainment has its downsides too. For example, you will agree with me that casinos employ thousands of workers yearly. Just imagine a situation whereby all casinos take a nosedive and are suddenly closed. Thousands will lose their jobs. So entertainment can also affect the employment and jobs of people round the world. Much entertainment has desensitized intimate scenes, murder and violence. Let alone the fact that it has second-guessed integrity, spiritual and moral values. Left alone, it would rob the next generation of any fundamental values.

          However, all is not lost.  The ability to pass on the baton of character, and integrity is within our control. We can still do our part to enrich the future! Entertainment is not all what life is about. We should be able to balance the part of entertainment and the part where we should be focused in the betterment of our life. But all said and done, entertainment is a paramount part of our life and should be that way for us to stay mentally healthy and stress free in our life.

      Kudos to the author who seems to have done a lot of research on the subject, theoretical and practical as well. The author had rightly espoused the theme of a balance between the fantasy of entertainment and the factuality of real life. In the present day frenetic life, the essentiality of entertainment as an effective de-stressing agent can't be over-stressed. In those 'good old days', entertainment was naturally provided by mother NATURE in a beautiful, albeit simple, way, while now we struggle to make it very complex with excessive embellishment, sometimes contributing to more stress, paradoxically. Like happiness, entertainment is a state of mind -- rubbish to one and ruby to another.

Computers: workers or bosses?

  How many hours do you spend on the computer every day? An average American adult spends 8 ½ hours of the day staring into the screens, and to be precise, 142.5 minutes daily in front of the computer. Why do people tend to spoil their health by hooking on to gadgets; computer, which will completely sabotage their lives just to earn some money? Don’t they realize that health is more valuable than the Blue  Diamond or the computer itself? Firstly, working people often give loads of excuses for them to stick on to their electronic devices. Electronic devices are helpful, but as Mark Twain quoted ‘too much is too bad’. Even though computers are used for educational fields, business purposes, and in banking sectors, it should be limited. Anything to some extent is good.   Secondly, people use computer technology in hospitals for doing surgeries and to treat people. It also connects us to people throughout the world. Many people can use Google maps to direct them from p...

I was bewitched by the breathtaking view of the ice crystals that had formed in the small rocky hollow in the walls of the frosty mountain. A moment later, I just knew that I had to share this incredible scene with my kith and kins, so I decided to take a snap of this beauty which is rarely noticed by people. ‘Nature has its own way of sculpting things to show its eternal beauty’, just like these tender, delicate crystals. WATERFALL I was walking along the foothills of the mountain where the infamous tigers' nest is located when this impeccable sight caught my view. I was ama...

Do we need 'Fashion'?

Image
                Fashion, a popular or the latest style of clothing, hair, decoration, or behavior which is adapted by people. Why do we dress up? Why do we tend to buy clothes which are worn by models?   It is fashionable and when somebody is a part of a society they dress accordingly with a touch of fashion. They keep their dignity while wearing a modern trendy dress and they still do not cross their comfort zone. These outfits also help to build up our confidence while facing a large audience and it also enhances our value in the profession and the way we dress reflects on our behavior and dignity. We also grab many people’s attention and slowly we start to become popular.              Does this help only the people who wear it? No. The world works with demand and supply policy. The demand for trendy clothes produces money for clothing designers and the m...
