Despite the many studies that have discussed the dangers of new media, cinema and television and how young and old are exposed to a flood of information that may pose a threat to their thinking and beliefs on many topics, one of the most important of these dangers remains not what the eye sees but what the eye does not see or rather what the camera hides from us.

Let's take a simple, harmless example

Watch many vlogs about people living a life that seems beautiful in the middle of nature, pets such as cats, dogs, birds and rabbits, cows and sheep all seem to live in harmony.

I remember seeing a cat befriend a small chick and play together, that seems magical, doesn't it?

You look at the edges of the flowers in their different colors and shapes, the sky is clear and beautiful, the sound of gurgling water, the old man goes to collect flower petals to make tea, while his wife prepares delicious food made of fresh meat and vegetables, it all seems beautiful and picturesque to the point that you wish to live in that place and be part of this paradise. In other seasons of the year, it is not much different, as winter and autumn have their own magic of covering the ground with a white or golden carpet.

Everything looks almost perfect and you find yourself, without realizing it, expressing your desire for this life, but come to look at the picture from another angle.

These animals need a ton of care and healthy nutrition, these animals are exposed to disease, they are not decoration, they are living creatures that excrete waste and emit odors and may be a cause of infection if they are not properly cared for, exposing the people of that place to danger.

Flowers and trees are no different, and not because they are fixed in place makes them less important, they wither and die, secrete substances that may be harmful or toxic, attract insects such as bees, wasps and others.

The yellow ground after the rain becomes sticky mud, the white ground becomes slippery, the green ground is a pasture for many animals and insects, it is not yours only, it is not clear and clean like a carpet in the house.

If this beautiful fairytale house was in the middle of green lands near a lake, forest, or mountains, this means that wild animals may lose their way, or hungry animals may attack you in the winter.

Fresh meat, vegetables, and organic eggs all need proper and healthy care and storage methods, otherwise you will be exposed to poisoning.

If the water is not pure, clean, and sterile, it may cause bilharzia, malaria, or kidney stones.

Leave all that aside in a place like this, when you are exposed to a sudden health problem, where will you find a hospital or a doctor? Can you really live without electricity, gas, and water coming from the taps? What about using the toilet and showering?

Does it seem very charming to you now as it was at first glance?

This is the picture with two faces, a beautiful, embellished, shiny, and deceptive face that you see and wish to be a part of, and a real, realistic face to the point that it makes you flee with all your strength from this paradise, or rather from this beautiful fantasy.
Apply this example to everything you see on screen or on social media and you will find yourself freed from the image trap and becoming more aware of what is around you.
