I don't understand how so many people are unhappy?

Especially those with their basic needs met. We literally have "magical" windows or screens of many sizes that allow us to see images and worlds we only previously dreamed of. This all done at the click of a button or touch of a screen. So much option and access to content in 1st world countries and yet there are plenty or way too many miserable people? 🤔

probably because none of that is actually emotionally fulfilling

@SW-User it can be if you know how to go about it imo

@dark548 Please do tell...

@NewBeginnings7790 well for starters you have to make sure you're in the present moment when you watch something. You have to learn to read your moods and accurately treat yourself to some content best fit for the mood. In other words you must know what your craving is and how to satisfy it. Be an active watcher, contemplate on the show and use your imagination to further empathize with the stories.

It is because of this that I'm very selective of what I watch. I will mostly watch something if I feel it will be psychologically and emotionally beneficial.

@NewBeginnings7790 in other words go from a passive watcher to an active and purposeful watcher.

@dark548 I just don’t see how watching someknething is supposed to make someone happy. Bad things happen every day, experiencing both the ups and down of life are not something we can change by watching tv, or the Internet.
