What concerns me...

...is a lot of things-naturally! I am a mother, a wife, a daughter-in-law, a sister, a daughter and a woman.Plenty of ideas flit about in my head leaving little room for peace at times.

But something I saw today on TV especially worried me.It was a new game show which dangles the proverbial "cash prize" for nothing more than 'telling the truth'.Mere curiosity prompted me to catch 20 minutes of the show and I regretted having done so.

How can you betray the love of your family, the trust of your friends and the security of your relationships for the sake of money? Is it worth it?

Hey, we all have secrets...who doesn't?But should we be compelled to take that on air and exhibit it to the world at large?

Who takes the blame here?The producers of the show or the contestants? Both are responsible, I guess.When money drives you to remorselessly admit to improper behaviour, rankling hatred, unfulfilled fantasies, of what value will that money be if and when you win it? You have lost the peace of mind which you sacrificed to get it anyway.

I must say I agree with this writer when he poetically rips the show apart for its callous nature, scheming underhandedness and martyred effect of the 'game show' scenario.

All I want to say to the contestants is, if you have to make money, do it the hard way;work for it.The "honest" way does not seem worthwhile. A broken marriage, a failed relationship, the anger of your family,friends and co-workers hardly seems to add value to any money you may win.
