It's too scary

I hear you. Have you heard of the show Criminal Minds? I used to see it a few years ago. I had to stop viewing it because it was way too intense for me. The show is very well done. The characters play their parts well. It's just too much for me to handle. I love to be able to sleep at night. I don't need to be tossing and turning with anxiety. Knowing things in advance is good as long as it doesn't get dramatized. The problem with many of these programs is that, they are souped up with drama to keep the viewers interested. At least that's how I look at it. So, at any rate, enjoy your reruns and try not to worry too much.

hello pat, the nuclear thing and the rising of water due to climate change is my fear. but I cant seem to leave it out alone because it is always in the news whether written or on television nowadays. ann

I am inclined to agree with you. I will not choose to worry about something I can do nothing about. There are so many things that are positive that we can fill our minds with, we do not need to deliberately fill ourselves with fear.

Hello savypat, reminds me on how scared I was when i saw that GIANT Spider in the tool box, i had to let the uneducated maid to deal with it because i knew that spider is poisonous when it bites. I can't believe she just grab it and tore it apart like some moving toy. I still couldn't get over fear of spiders, specially if they can poison your body. but knowledge is important, you never know when your gonna need it one day.

Oh I can totally understand you. I do admit that everything about science and the studies fascinate me, I find it interesting. But I also have limits on the kind of information that I can accept and process. Like you said, no use in scaring ourselves!

The scarier the better for me. I love all the interesting things on there. True it is nice not to know, but I am a curious cat.

The saying is so true ignorance is bliss, that is why I tend to avoid such programs, same with those programs about meteors in space that could wipe Earth out, I am all for horror stories and film because I see them for what they are truly fiction, but when it comes to realism, not my scene, I'd rather be in the dark thank you very much, same with knowing our future, I don't know want to know what might happen to me in years to come. My head is well and truly in the sand with you on this one!

I will agree with you that it is scary to think about. I am a nut over these types of shows though. Hubby does not like for me to watch them. He thinks I will be come paranoid.Fortunately for me, we don't have satellite anymore so I can't watch National Geographic......

I remembe when I was young watching a rerun of the '50's TV show Medic, which was the first medical dramas on TV. At one point they were showing what looked a real operation and even though it was in black and white, I had to change the channel. I could never be a surgeon I guess.
