the sad thing here isn’t taking the picture. It’s the masses who want to see others pain that makes this whole thing sad. People in this world want to see death and destruction in real time. Just spend a few hours in the Washington Capital Beltway and you’ll see people rubber necking at an accident scene just to get a glimpse of others pain.

Sad :(

StraBe: Hey, it’s never too late! :) Thank you for sharing your comments even though you’re an infrequent blogosphere traveller! Well, whatever you said sounds logical, so you must be right! Although I got a bit confused about the last part. I’ve heard of group think, but not double think. I’ll google it one day when I’m not so busy. :P

Sorry about the late post – I don’t travel the blogsphere much.

As to your question, It’s because you are human. You felt his pain. You were connected. It is what makes us human. That connection….

More to the point though, It is because you live your life vicariously. Sure, you feel you are in the middle of things but it is his pain, not yours – but yours none the less because we all feel the pain. Have you ever seen an animal run over by a car *as it happens*? if you can answer “so what” then quit reading now.

As to the pile-up, well, we all get lost in the enormity of life. When it was just him, you could not do it. You were connected. When it was them, you could. You can’t connect to them. Ironically they call it group think. When you can’t think without them thinking. Goggle Orwell’s 1984 double think – yes, I know double does not equal group but in the world of google, they relate. How is that for a social commentary?

Smallapple: Hmm, I don’t really visit STOMP. But I get the impression that incidents get overly sensationalised over there. Is that true?
