Bad
thoughts come from bad pictures in our minds.
Bad shows
create bad pictures and memories in our minds. Bad shows can generate anger,
greed, and delusion in our minds. Bad words and bad deeds come from bad
thoughts. Bad thoughts come from bad pictures in our minds. Seeing bad shows is
even more dangerous for children, because they cannot distinguish between what
is right and what is wrong. We need to choose good hobbies for the people in
our families. Maintaining good habits within the household allows us to avoid
unhappiness in families. Unhappiness can cause loneliness. People like to be
happy. They will be attracted to smiling people and avoid those who are moody,
unhappy, or negative.

bad shows is even more dangerous for children
In addition, when we are alone, we can have fun and relax
with other appropriate activities or hobbies such as planting trees or flowers,
reading good books, seeing good shows, doing volunteer work, exercising or
playing sports, listening or playing nice music, and practicing meditation.
This is better than seeing bad shows and movies.
A woman who
has achluophobia (fear of darkness) because when she was young, her brother
pretended to be a ghost, walked into her room at night, and grabbed her feet.
My closest
friend told me that she once stayed at a state park hotel, which is in the
middle of the woods. There was one night that she watched the movie Devil’s
Advocate and fell asleep. She got up again at 3 o’clock.
It was
very dark outside and when she looked through the windows all she saw were
trees moving because of the wind
It was very dark
outside and when she looked through the windows all she saw were trees moving
because of the wind. And because of some horrible scenes she saw from the
movie, she started imagining ghosts and she was afraid and she could not get
back to sleep. Although she is a scientist and is not expected to believe in
ghosts, she could not calm herself down on that night. Then she stayed awake
all night and started writing about how the pictures that we see and the sounds
that we hear can affect our imagination and thought. Actually, that “closest
friend” is me.
