as series of tales unfold

the reason people indulge so much in tv shows, esp tv series is because it brings them into a world of unreality. it takes them from reality, aka their problems, work, decisions, and let them put their hope into sth that has an ending as the tales unfold series after series. no one likes to watch the Last episode of the season because it leaves you with a question mark, an unfinished end, Or, it brings you back to life, hits you in the face saying, now get back to reality. face that mount of assignment you need to finish, the monday blues at work every week, the tense relationship you have with that colleague, the harrowing deadlines and demands that need to be fulfilled. a parallel to a syndrome faced by many at the end of a long holiday. fun under the sun replaced with the furl of the world.

oh no maybe its not everyone. just those who get addicted to tv series and when you finish that last episode you get a horrible withdrawal. but you got to admit that everyone needs their share and dose of daydreams and charming fantasies in wonderland at times. not to the point of literally living in it and developing delusions of course.

how do you soften the bump when one lands from a high leap from dreamworld back onto soil? the impulse tells us to watch another set of tv series. the leveled head tells us to open the books and start prepping for what is to come. guilt sets in. fear builds in. the worker takes a hesitant step towards the tractor. the step multiplies. momentum sets in. shuffles turn into strides. the tractor starts running. as soil is churned, seeds are sown, plants watered, flowers bloom, it hits. reality in itself is and can be beautiful too. uh... uh.... put those tv series away....

i wonder if the above made sense to anyone.
