lots of connotations to that title but mine is about tv/news/film

why do people watch bum out depressing films and tv about horrid things such a parents getting their children unjustly taken away from them? abusive parents? child prostitution? rape?......

i understand why they are made, to publicised these injustices and raise awareness but honestly i don't wana see it!

i don't wana hear about some mother who killed her children then jumped out the window in some random town. i would much rather live in blissful ignorance because there's nothing i can do to prevent or rectify these events. the only consequence is me feeling bummed out.

my question is why do people (such as yourself) make stupid threads (such as this one), who cares what some people like watching, makes some people think makes others depressed haha does it matter?

what is life without death, what is good without bad??? Blissfully igorant is still ignorant. To understand anothers suffering gives you a better understanding of life as a whole. It's not always pretty. Sometimes people watch something depressing just to get a better understanding and experience of the darker side of life. I usually explain it by giving the example of going hiking on a rainy day. Most people won't, but does nature get any less beautiful when it's wet?? You have to learn to appreciate and grow from the good and the bad. I guess my point is they aren't watching it to bum themselves out, they are watching it to take away education and experience from one of lifes low points.
