In the ancient Roman Empire,
When the folks started revolting,
Emperors held great events in the Colosseum,
To get people’s minds away from the problem.
“Give them bread and circuses, and they will never revolt.”
Juvenal
And it is the same problem today.
Maybe not in revolting, but definitely in getting distracted from your own life.
What happens now is, watching these movies, TV shows, sports, gaming, whatever… Your brain gets preoccupied with solving these imaginative problems, that do not hold any real influence over your life.
We fall asleep thinking about that Luka Doncic trade, or the answer to that TV show murder trial.
Distractions.
And I understand, we all have guilty pleasures.
But the fact is, this makes it hard to focus on your own life.
Because your brain cannot choose, which problem comes first.
If it could, then you would have much stronger control over your thoughts.
But you don’t.
So the real question is, what kind of problems are you feeding your brain to.
You can even put in numbers;
50% – 9 to 5 Work
10% – Social Media
10% – News & worldly problems
10% – TV show you just watched
10% – Sports
10% – Music
10% – Your own life
That’s the reason why these athletes/modern-day gladiators get paid so much money.
(Social Media Influencers, Movie stars, Trash Musicians… etc.)
So we keep wasting our time and energy on something that not only doesn’t help us, but in fact, hurts us. Brain rot is what it is.
No wonder why so many of us are unhappy.
We are putting ourselves and our own problems at the last place.
So the real question is – What are you feeding your brain to?
Analyze your life and see, are you really investing your time and energy into your own life,
Or into someone else’s.
