I don’t ever watch reality TV. The reason why I don’t is because it is not reality.

To live like the Desperate Housewives of Atlanta or the Kardashians live is not the way most of us live.

I have been tempted to watch these shows just to be able to engage in conversation with some of my friends who watch them but soon the temptation passes.

Nonetheless, a thought occurred to me the other day for a new reality TV show.

I think it would be a wonderful idea to do a reality show on a homeless person. Follow a homeless person for a week and see what their reality may be.

Then I thought about some of my fellow bloggers like the man who has ALS and constructs his blog through eye movements. You can find his blog at Unshakeable Hope. That would be an interesting show.

Just as interesting would be a show about someone who struggles with bipolar disease. That is such a difficult path to walk on in this life.

It would be a worthy venture to walk in the path of a disabled veteran and see how hard it is for them to obtain good healthcare.

Another idea is to follow a friend of mine who is a paraplegic. He is also a para-triathlete champion. This guy is amazing.

Then there is always the single parent story. How to do a two person job when you are only one person is a constant struggle.

Another interesting idea is to view the life of a baby who has a crippling disease. That would be a heartbreaker.

I would suggest that anyone who is a subject of this reality TV series be awarded an amount of money from the network which has produced the series.

Don’t worry they can afford it. Then they could also have a way for people to donate.

Some of these episodes could be discouraging but some would be inspirational.

It is not that this is reality for everyone but it may allow the viewers to become more compassionate for those less fortunate. Besides, unless you live like Kim Kardashian, being a filthy rich and selfish person is not a reality either.
