Precious laughter

“Do you watch the local tv drama series every night?” My friend asked me.

“No”, I replied, “I do not want to go into depression.”

What the script writer can come out one after another, year after year are all tragedies, celebrating every mishap and hardship under the sun. A little bad fortune is being transformed into a catastrophe. What is so interesting about that? Does the audience really licking up all this?


Every time I switch on the tv, there are some actress in tears, screaming or dying. Is this reflecting real life? Does all drama shows have to be like this? Does this mean good acting?

Such programs are so unnecessary. On the contrary a little laughter is appreciated but it is so difficult to write humor into the script. There are just so few examples in our daily life to draw examples from. Because happiness is rare, that is why we need it so much in tv. Life is not just tears, there are laughter too.
