I was an OR nurse for a very long time. My Real Life was filled with drama, trauma, & tragedy. I didn’t need extra doses of it right in my living room. I stopped watching news during Desert Storm. I found I didn’t need a play by play on live TV to understand that war is to be avoided.
I think it’s the capitalistic mentality here. Bad news sells. Worse news sells more. It’s very sad.
Thanks so much for your support. I’m really glad you liked the piece. Have a wonderful weekend.
