Have you ever wondered why reality shows are so popular?
I have watched a few and I still wonder, "why are reality shows so popular?"
I can't imagine that they are "reality." I mean, do people behave in their everyday lives in the manner that they act on these "reality" shows?


I think getting a camera in the room with someone all the time really changes their personality and their behavior. I could be totally wrong about this, I don't know these people at all, but that's just it, how do I know what reality is in these situations?


When we get in social situations, whether it be parties, or church, bible studies, or other situations where we are in a group of people, how does our personality change? What is reality? Are we the same person in these situations that we are at home when no one else is around? Or, do we put on a smile, even when we are not happy? Do we exchange pleasantries when we would rather cry to someone? Are we real about our feelings when others have hurt us? Are we broken and sorry when we have hurt others?


How about this, when someone gets real with us, how do we react? Are we judge, jury and executioner, putting any chance of a healthy relationship with that person to death before it has a chance to begin?


I submit that if we think about the fact that God is in the room, and He knows us, when we are being real and when we are not, we will start being more honest, more intimate and more loving and forgiving with each other.


That is one cool reality that I would love to see!
