People have been crying publicly over trivial events since Diana died. That's the first time I remember seeing a "public outpouring of emotions".
I watched a documentary on Aberfan a few years back. The news reporter at the time was talking to a bloke who was digging in the rubble. "They just pulled my son out dead" he said "my other one is on here somewhere". He then went back to it.
Showing emotion is not a bad thing, but the fashionability of it is nauseating. It's now a virtue in this perverse world of faux emotions.
I wasn't paying attention to news at the time of Diana, but one of teachers when in school mentioned it saying it was crazy, people balling their eyes. People having more of an attachment to someone in the media spotlight over real life
It is crazy how much of our lives are spent in the imaginary world of media. There is barely a second during my day when I'm not day dreaming listening to TV or radio.
Im sure I read it is one of the main reasons why we struggle to remember what we did the day before
I dont know where Im going with this but I think it isnt surprising some people get overemotional over things in the media...as their lives are more of less lived there rather than the real world. If that makes sense.
and ive just contradicted the entire point of this thread
Some people are engrossed with it all. Other people not so much. I don't have Twitter or Facebook, nothing against them but I just don't fancy them. People I used to work with would be like zombies coming into work..."can't sleep" ....well I bet it would be a lot easier if you put your phone on charge downstairs and didn't spend all night flipping from app to app....
