  • The Meditations – Marcus Aurelius

    “Mark how fleeting and paltry is the estate of man – yesterday in embryo, tomorrow a mummy or ashes. So for the hairsbreadth of time assigned to thee, live rationally, and part with life cheerfully, as drops the ripe olive, extolling the season that bore it and the tree that matured it.” – Marcus Aurelius […]

Can’t decide which show to watch next?

I am two Seasons behind to complete watching ‘Grey’s Anatomy.’ When I began to watch Grey’s Anatomy, someone said to me, it’s a women’s TV show so you should not watch it. Or ‘House’ and ‘Dexter’ are better, etc. Personally, I got a good impression regarding self-care and a personal development from Grey’s Anatomy. I don’t think it’s only designated to a specific gender or sex, but anyone can enjoy it on the weekends, or put it in your binge watching lists over the break.

As weorange-is-the-new-black are getting to the end of the Seasons for Grey’s, I was debating watching, “Orange is the new Black,’ and ‘Law & Order Special Victim Unit.’ I ended up choosing, ‘Law & Order Special Victims Unit.’ Over ‘Orange is the new Black,’ That is because ‘Law & Order’ is a little broader scale than ‘Orange is the new Black,’, and I am very attracted to the emotional expressions behind the rational/factual plots in each episode, especially in the seasons, the special victim unit.’

In summary, now I would dare say Grey’s anatomy is a good TV show to be worth watching. And, I got started watching,  ‘Law & Order Special Victims Unit.’ I would like to say, ‘Don’t judge TV shows by others’ opinions or their 20 second trailers, so as not to judge the book by its cover.’
