What is Real?

There are so many reality TV shows that our TV culture has changed drastically in the past number of years. These shows seem so unlike reality at times that some people are sure they are scripted.

Scripted reality ... now that is something to think about. How many times have you said something and wished you hadn't? How many times have you missed an opportunity to comfort or be compassionate? How many times have you wished you could have a "do over"?

If life were scripted would we have healthier relationships? Would we have a more peaceful world all because we could take a moment to THINK before we spoke? What if we had time to weigh the impact of our words before we spoke them? We could play the scene out, rehearse it and work out the kinks before it actually took place. I think it would save a lot of misunderstandings and heartache.

Perhaps we would benefit from "Lights, Action, Camera" being called out before we interacted with others, to remind ourselves that once it's on film ..."It's a wrap".
