I dislike violence, I didn't have a TV when 9/11 happened and I'm very glad, everywhere I went, encluding work, the TV was on, it showed the horror over and over. I wonder why, why do we need to see this 24 hours a day, watch people jumping, watch people hating? Then later there was the coverage of troops tearing apart the house and the hanging of a man, he was our enamy, I was told. Now a day late in a waiting room a TV on once more tuned to CNN, he is dead...scrolling.....celabrate... he was our enamy.
I really dislike TV's that tell me I should hate, I should see enamies on the face of a deck of cards, I should wrap my place in sran wrap, color coded threats, all of it, it tramitizes me. I do not want violence in my house. I don't want to be told to hate, or to celabrate death. I do not believe humans are at a place were we are able to wisely use the power of life or death. I have many good reasons to hate, but I don't. Insteasd I live my life in fear, I fear humans more than any animal or acts of mother nature. Does learing to hate mean I'll lose my fear? I'd rather live with fear than be a person who can celabrate hate and death of a misguided soul. I have no answers, just confustion on this topic. I'm glad I can watch DVD's without worry of what I might see. I think its sad, to celabrate a loss of life before he could releize his wrongs.
