It’s been 19 months since I last binge watched a series. Eyes glued to the screen, seeing out of space characters even at work. Having difficulty distinguishing reality from fiction. I was dazed. It felt like a dream. A nightmare.
I vowed to never do it again.
I wake up groggy. Dysfunctional. The screen sucked me in and spit out a zombie seven hours later. Eyes are red. Body too tired to sleep.
Of course, I knew better. The temptation was too great! (I’m staying with a friend who has Netflix). It was like opening a big tub of ice cream, vowing to have just a few spoonful. The tub is now empty and I am full of regret.
How often do we get on the path of temptation, knowing full well where we’ll end up? Categorizing a known temptation for opportunity?
