I'm not sure you do understand it. There was a time in my life where one day I decided to not take the remote control, but instead to let my wife choose what to watch on TV (instead of what I wanted to watch). Interestingly enough, it was also the same time period that I started to watch the BBC series with the art historian, Wendy Becket. I had become unexpectedly passive, in a transformative and enduring moment, and with that passivity I experienced a kind of liberation. I was no longer the three year old shouting that it wanted its birthday cake. I somehow grew up, in that instant and onward. I think that this is what the priests are telling you. I don't watch TV anymore, by the way.
