I know there are those who feed on drama, but that doesn't mean everyone does. We can feel bad for those affected, donate to their cause, pray for them, or whatever makes us feel better, and still not need to keep re-hashing the event. Sometimes I wonder if the media doesn't go too far with this stuff, such as the school shootings, etc. Maybe those who might be inclined to act out in such a manner, have some kind of sick fixation on how they will go down in history for their dastardly deed. If that is the case, in their poor minds, then we are feeding into their disillusionment.
I don't even pretend to know, but I still believe there comes a time when we should let it rest. We know about it, have had a chance to mourn for those involved, and then it is time to let it go. It is not good to continue to dwell on unhappy events, they have a tendency to bring us down. It is bad enough that those directly affected have lost loved ones, homes, or their way of life. And that is just the opinion of one who has seen their share of adversity, out in my small corner of the country.
