Prometheus Unbound

Television was handed down to humanity by the gods. Just as prometheus handed down the gift of fire and medicine.

This angered Zeus, for he had created television as his only means to distillate all humanity had to offer into one viewable image. He had no other means to be all seeing and all knowing.

Prometheus knew this would give humanity a mirror into their own souls. A concentrated form of everything wrong with the world of man.

Instead of seeing ourselves as vastly in need of improvement, the television took the place of human relationships.

Why should man stumble out of his dwelling when the whole broken world is right in his home.

The television was meant to reflect all of our imperfections the way no mirror could. The intention was lost on humanity and this made prometheus very disturbed.

He loved mankind and did not want them to be vermin scrambling around in the dark for their next hoard of food. For this was how the other gods saw mankind.

Prometheus was condemned to an eternity of being bound to a desolate rock, and humanity never figured out the true meaning of the television.
