Halloween

My birthday is 2 days before Halloween. I remember every year, either in the office or going out, the theme around my birthday was always Halloween. I always hated that. I think its an ugly holiday. Its not even a holiday. But over the years its turned into one. I even had someone say to me Happy Halloween last year. What's so happy about it? I drive around the neighborhood and see people decorate their lawns with tombstones, skeletons and spiderwebs. Maybe people think its cute. But these are the same people that then turn around and decorate their homes for Christmas. That seems ironic to me but I dont think they get it. Halloween is a pretty dark day. I think the bottom line here is that we entertain too much evil. People love to watch dramas and scary movies. I know people that watch only junk. And then they end up with alot of drama in their own lives and wonder why. Talk about tv shows - every other show is about a witch or vampire or someone who talks to the dead. I know that stuff has always been around but lately we've been saturated with it. I have Netflix just so I can order shows that are a little more on the bright side. What we put in front of us effects us. If we feed ourself with bad food, we get sick. If we feed our minds with bad stuff, we still get sick. People think they are unfazed but it does effect you. I know a woman who said she was a Christian but she allowed her kids to watch scary movies on Halloween every year and allowed them to watch all the Harry Potter movies. As they got older, her son joined a gang and her daughter became promiscuous. Would they not have been better served if they were not allowed to watch so much evil growing up? I think so. But what do I know?
