>>10,17Why do people get emotionally affected by stuff they see on TV about people they've never met? I mean if someone made a blog with terrible things that happen all around the world, it would probably update every ten seconds and someone who gets affected by news on TV would probably kill themselves over the blog. I don't think it makes sense to emotionally invest yourself in 7 billion people.
So far everyone dies eventually, and many of them die before you. And regardless of circumstances, every single one of their deaths is a terrible tragedy. How many terrible tragedies do you want to emotionally experience, and what do you think the long-term effects on your health is?
