On Television

This reminds us of a Chinese fortune cookie we read recently:

I love to watch Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. I love to watch the healing of families and communities through the personalized compassion of the show's personalities. I've also observed that a lot of physical touching happens between the family and the TV personalities. They hug. They hold hands. They cry on sholders. The designers hold children in their arms. No matter what you think of the show's excesses, at its core it demonstrates how people and communities should reach out and literally connect with those who are in need.
