Day - 27

My last post talked about Snapped and I've mentioned it before in previous posts. I am very intrigued by this show, even though it isn't exactly a cheerful, happy, show. The show Snapped is about women who all of a sudden snap (ironically enough) and perform some heinous murder. One of the most disturbing episodes I saw was of a sixteen year old girl who stabbed her mother thirteen times because she wanted to kill her boyfriend at school the next day. She was also plotting on killing her father. This is after she tried to OD on aspirin and after she went to her local church for counseling. Why do people snap and should this violence be glamorized?

That's a very tricky question. As far as glamorizing it, I'd have to say it depends on the situation. Maybe it should be glamorized to show that there are a lot of people out there who are hurting and need some type of hope or direction in life. Maybe by seeing people who experience this type of hurt, we will have more compassion for everyone in our daily lives?

Why do people snap? That is a very good question. I believe it stems from some type of hurt or pain. There are a lot of people who are hurting in the world and they might just need a friendly smile or a hug. As cheesy as that sounds, maybe tragedy could be prevented with a little kindness?
