Mass communication, radio, and especially television, have attempted, not without success, to annihilate every possibility of solitude and reflection.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In sum, thought and reflection have been rendered thoroughly pointless by the circumstances in which modern men and women live and act.
A life without a lonely place, that is, without a quiet center, becomes destructive.
Television has been the single greatest shaper of emptiness.
The orchestration of press, radio and television to create a continuous, lasting and total environment renders the influence of propaganda virtually unnoticed precisely because it creates a constant environment.
Without reflection, we go blindly on our way, creating more unintended consequences, and failing to achieve anything useful.
We have more media than ever and more technology in our lives. It's supposed to help us communicate, but it has the opposite effect of isolating us.
In silence and movement you can show the reflection of people.
Solitude shows us what should be; society shows us what we are.
The gift of broadcasting is, without question, the lowest human capacity to which any man could attain.
To reflect is to disturb one's thoughts.
