I think all people have experienced this to some degree. I think it's called shottenfreud or something similar. It's probably left over from a simpler time when we weren't inundated with these images all day long, just lived out our lives without seeing disasters every month or week, or it seems now almost daily. I dunno, but I'm glad I'm not the only one who's felt that way.
I'm not terribly interested in man-made drama/disasters, but I can intensely relate to your fascination with natural disasters... storms, hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanoes. The full power of a dispassionate universe. It is a reminder that there's something far greater than ourselves, far more powerful than anything we create... and that's a kind of terrible beauty.
Good observation.
yeah, it's like when the trade towers came down, or watching the tsunami footage -- any disaster is a view of death that magnetizes our attention and awe
I've had my fill of death and violence, car crashes, blood, guns going off near me, etc., yet I am strangely attracted to these things. Maybe it's my inner journalist or else the part of me that tries to help people and almost gets myself killed once a year or so.
My old motto: act first, think later. My new motto: Think first but do it anyway.
I had been arguing with my close friend on this issue for quite a while, base on your ideas prove that I am right, let me show him your webpage then I am sure it must make him buy me a drink, lol, thanks.
