Do you remember previews in a movie theatre? Based on the ticket you purchased, they profile you as to what you might want to see next. Prime does that. Analog, as a noun, pertains to a person or thing seen as comparable to another. I have been analyzed beyond my expectations. It grows as connections are added. The previews on Prime are sweet if you are watching a simple romance like a formula Hallmark story where the girl always returns from the big city to find her high school sweetheart. I started a spy series yesterday and by the first hour our protagonist has made love to the bad guys mistress then she gets killed. I’m done with this story but it is amazing how risqué the previews are when one has entered that genre. That is what I call a slippery slope. Good friends want good things for your life. A sketchy person may not care if you compromise or cross a line. We can feed our minds some inviting stuff that ends up harming us. When I saw the first ‘Jaws’ film I swore off the sequels because all I could see was the young man disappearing under the dark water as the shark did his worst. Once was enough for me but I know people who love those films. They are not affected in the same way as I am. I know what is good and what is not good for me. Things that provoke fear, lust, jealousy, compromise might come from Prime or a person with other standards. We are called to holiness. There is not an ounce of compromise in that calling. Pure is spotless. We are surrounded by ‘suggestions’ of what else might be if we choose a wide path. Be wary of the suggestions.
