Entertainment is defined as a form of amusement that engages, or diverts.

Entertainment could take on many forms ...including work and play.  It really has to do with what amuses us, what we engage in, or what causes a diversion.   Or would we consider some of those things ...not entertaining at all?

I am not a psychologist, a psychiatrist, a therapist, or a counselor ...though I have worked with many.  Some were exceptional, and some were absurd.   The following includes excerpts from the unpublished half of the book, The Evolution of Confusion.  I fear no copyright infringement, as I am the author.

Sweeney needs to be alone to reflect on this one. It seems just like yesterday.

He and Murray sit by the window, looking out.  They're always looking out.  No one seems to look out for them. They are grounded again. They are grounded a lot, he recalls.

Dad is angry.  Mom is angry.  Don't know who was angry first.  Does it really matter?   We become a part of Dad and 
Mom whether we like it or not.   What will children gain from their parents?  The positive, or the negative?   Or the confusion?

Some therapists blame upbringing …an uncomfortable insinuation for parents, or parents of parents.  Parents blame children, an unbearable insinuation for children.  Children don't have the right to blame anyone, unless they blame themselves.  They're just the unwilling victims of it all.

Many supposed well-meaning organizations blame society, though the organizations emerge out of society itself.  And government molds itself around the society, so that it can exist without too much inner turmoil, not confronting that which it is not committed enough to attempt to change.  It becomes the mutual benefit of the conglomeration of all our misdirection.   

Society is defined as the voluntary association of individuals for common ends.  Often that common end is to blame. Whether it is the small family unit, or the larger government of nations, blame can be the focus …rather than seeking solutions.
