feels being positive isn't right

Post Reply New Topic

It strange but I feel like with the content we see a lot these days it makes thinking or being positive are a bad thing. Take video games, I enjoy video games with stories of people helping each other. There are some dark stuff but it resolve correct and positive. Also like how it wasn't so gory. I like action but not the kind of action where we see people head getting cut off. Games like dynasty warriors, kingdom hearts, tales series, final fantasy, etc. However it feels like we see dark or disturbing stuff or things like the character trying to save people has to do gory things like rip people head off or open up their body or so. I know there been stuff like that in the past but just feels like its all the time in a way. It makes me feel like there is something wrong with me because i prefer the positive way of thinking when it was just something like Link defeating Ganadorf but now it gets to more gruesome and dark. The same goes for a lot of tv show and anime. It makes me feel like because i don't agree with that, something is wrong with me or so. Now I know that I can't erase those things or make them stop. Also I know it what sells of course so i understand that.It just it feels like there are so much it makes it feel like its akward for met having positive or good way of thinking. Sorry if this sounds confusing, trying to put it in the right words. I know its just my anxiety but still can put me down a bit.

Society is becoming increasingly more sick and warped in my opinion so you are having a completely healthy and normal reaction against it

Unfortunately a lot of people enjoy this kind of stuff and if they are prepared to pay money for it, more of it will keep being produced

Also you need to remember that in the past there was human sacrifice and the torturing and burning of heretics and witches at the stake and people loved watching all this so a fair majority of people do have a lust for gore and nastiness - luckily it's mainly on the screen now so I suppose we should be thankful for small mercies

No one listened to Mary Whitehouse when she said what would happen without standards and boundaries so what do people expect? It'll get a lot worse than it is now I can tell you.

If these games get you down, look for less gory ones - there must be some out there. Or switch to another activity.

Just remember, there's absolutely nothing wrong with you for feeling like this - on the contrary it shows you are a decent and perceptive person who can sense how bad things are getting. Not many are like this; most just want more gore!

Actually thats the thing, i play stuff that is less gory. I rather play those so games then the dark gory stuff. just i think it makes it seem like i'm the crazy one because i rather play and i enjoy those positive stuff. Good games and anime like one piece, naruto, kingdom hearts, tales, final fantasy... i think its also because these things have been positive inspiration for me and uplifting.

In one of the twin towers, I forget which one, nearly all the people above where the plane crashed fled up the stairs, away from the smoke and hoping for helicopter rescue on the roof. Five went downstairs against the current and were not dissuaded by the others telling them to go up. Only those five survived. In the other tower, none above the crash level survived.

Its good to listen to your instincts. The crowd is not always right.
