Why Movies are the source of our habits
I know we all do it. Let’s know why?
I know it’s a little perplexing because many people today consume alcohol, and they consume a lot of it not just for fun, but for a variety of other reasons.
Some try to overcome their fears and depression problems through alcohol, others consume just to get over their loneliness.
This is kind of amusing because almost everyone experiences loneliness and sadness at some point in their lives. And it’s common to all of us. So in my mind, it’s not a big deal, but for some people, it is the hardest thing to deal with.
Therefore, they end up surrounding themselves with drugs and trying to overcome their problems by making their brain numb with an overdose of dopamine and drugs.
I don’t know how exactly this thing works, but I have seen a lot of people doing this stuff, and currently, a lot of young kids are doing this as well. It’s no longer only an adult thing. Nowadays, kids are also enjoying this kind of stuff by clicking the 18+ buttons in their lives, lol.
Why are people becoming more susceptible to drugs?
I think there are so many things that are making this possible for the kids, first of all, the resources, the internet and all are so helpful these days.
Today, kids have access and parents hardly know what their kids are watching on the internet and how they are getting influenced.
So basically, it’s the point of knowing that not just adults are open to drugs, but kids are following the same order as well.
As we all know, the things that we do at a certain age are a reflection of the things that we used to do as kids.
If someone has the habit of anger abusing people now, they must have started this at a young age.
So the entire concept of gaining habits after a certain age is not fully correct. We always follow our instincts most of the time, and these so-called instincts are based on our childhood habits and how we have seen this world and the situations in our lives.
If we are consuming drugs today, that means somehow we are influenced and that source of influence can be anything, but in today’s time, the only source of influence is the “content” that we consume through different media.
You know that today we have a lot of content platforms and these content platforms are showing different things. Some are showing “porn”, some are for movies and web series.
All this content consumption affects us in different ways. Most of the time, it pushes us to follow, consciously or unconsciously.
Try to look at your habits now! You will see that some of your present habits are totally matched with the last movie that you watched, and you are behaving and acting like the actor that has touched you through his acting.
So the thing is, we are getting influenced by social media and movies, and in movies, young kids are open to three things: alcohol, drugs, and sex. But in reality, these things are not the same as in movies.
That’s why people try to copy the movies because they want to live life like the movies in reality, and as a result, we have more crimes and kids depressed these days. I am talking about the whole thing here (because exceptions are always there).
There is much to the story. The sex lives of some people are influenced by porn and they consume porn on a daily basis. I am not saying defining anything here, but the things we always consume through media are not completely true.
So the movies are the source for drug habits!
No way! Movies are only showing us what people do when they get depressed about life. They are not forcing us to adopt those habits.
But we don’t realise that most of the time, things we do happen unconsciously because, deep down, we all have hidden desires and we all want to live a completely free life.
A life where no one can tell us what to do or what not to. And this is common in all of us, and that’s why movies show a character whose life is all fucked up, who ends up being a millionaire or just starts taking drugs and doesn’t give a fuck to life and people.
Furthermore, there are other things as well that influence us.
What?
I think the environment that we are living in totally decides our habits (again, exceptions are always there). In most cases, we all behave like the people we are surrounded by.
If you live in a city where everyone is doing business, then you will also have a business idea and try to become a successful entrepreneur in the future. The same happens for other things.
If you live with people who are open to drungs and alcohol, then one day you will end up like them if you do not have enough resistive powers.
Is there any solution for that! Basically, yes! Because we only need to realise that the things we are doing are not required and are not even part of our lives.
For example, you should start noticing how many times a day you imitate others.
So it’s just a matter of self-control. And self-control can be achieved by doing meditation and regular habit checks.
Also, I have started my personal blog where I will talk openly about things without worrying about grammatical mistakes and medium policies. Lol. If you’re interested in my work, you can just visit it. words999.com is my blog.
Thanks.
