Watch...out
When you watch Television, you are put by force into your unconscious mind. When you are in this state, when the hero dies, you weep. Although you may have seen him directly alive after the movie, you will weep. This is because your eyes are capable of grasping only 6 frames per second. If the movement is greater than 6 frames per second, you will be pushed into your unconscious mind and whatever you see goes directly in and gets recorded. Your analytical mind will be put to rest. The analytical mind is like a security. It decides who is to be sent in, and who not. If you are watching for more than 21 minutes, your analytical mind gets knocked out. That is why when you watch the Lux soap advertisement, you go to the shop and ask for it, forgetting that the Lux soap model is not given along with it!
