People get very touchy when you question their TV choices. Watching TV is so closely associated with rest after a difficult day for many Australians, so suggesting that there might be a bee in that particular lemonade can will either lead to resistance (e.g. “what I watch doesn’t affect me”), or will be politely ignored.

As people who exist in God’s world, we’re primed for stories of hope when all hope is lost. I think this is why the story of the Thai soccer boys trapped in the Tham Luang caves has gripped the world’s attention.
