Ocean Bream wrote about entertainment that has negative stuff in it. Like, movies, etc. I really connected to that and this is the comment I left her. I don’t like to read or watch anything with made up horror in it. It just, to borrow her words “pollutes my soul”.
I firmly believe that our ability to create technology has vastly outstripped the evolution of a system of ethics to deal with it. We have access to images and stories 24/7 that are so horrific, or violent, or hateful that are simply more than our spirits can digest. It’s important to treat our spirits tenderly, gently. They are important.
Carolin, I so appreciate this comment. It is exactly how I felt when I read Ocean Bream’s post. Though you managed to say it much better than I !!! You nailed. it.
Thank you Paul. I often sit with others who are talking about this show or that movie and whether we should all see it, I am always the one saying “go without me”.
Indeed, your soul matters and added pain is unnecessary.
It was an interesting read, and as a writer thpugh I struggle with it as I am exploring a darker part, yet, I see the value in maybe not sharing everything I write or maybe see of there is another way to express it?
I wouldn[‘t want someone to not express their talents and creative nature Niaaeryn. Some people really enjoy these genres. I just know I can’t read, or watch, blood and gore, and kill and mayhem entertainment. It just goes to my soul and I can’t get rid of it.
🙂 But some people are MUCH better at processing stuff out than I am.

That’s deep. We worry about so much and yet very little of what we worry about actually comes to pass or is even real at all.

I am learning, though haven’t yet mastered, that worry is a waste.
