Melba- You know what I connect with about this? Its hard to describe, but I'll try. I think yrs ago I would have been fascinated or even interested in watching what the heck these 2 women could possibly do to each other on line in the store. There would have been maybe even a kind of acting out my aggressive feelings by watching their fight in that. But now, exactly like you said, my feelings would reflect a more empathetic and "normal" reaction to one person causing another person physical pain. I would be disturbed and would feel hurt for the person whose hair was pulled or hit or whatever.

I think you are right, it makes us more human and more connected to our true selves as opposed to working out our own issues through other people. Wow.
