Voyeurism
And Television: Feeding Our Ravenous Appetite
For Murder And Destruction
The effect of desensitization works
differently in children and adults. Adults
tend to be uncaring or unfeeling towards those
who suffer under violence or violent
conditions. I've seen it myself when a group
is watching television and some horrible
natural calamity occurs and it is shown on
television. Words of sympathy may be spoken
but rarely do we instinctively show any
emotion. Take CNN for example when they
flashed the world trade center towers falling
on 9/11 repeatedly, did you shed a tear in
public or in private? We are out to lunch in
reality and now exist in our world of
illusion. We hide our true selves and
outwardly project who we think we would like
to be. When your have been physically injured
the process for healing begins immediately but
when your psyche has been violated you
compound the damage by ignoring it. Let us
embrace the truth and do a thorough internal
audit of our senses.
