Why subject myself to entertainment that pains me?
I think this is a key issue really.
I'm here to be entertained, and hopefully to entertain others. That's why it's called entertainment or a hobby or whatever.
If entertainment makes me grow as a person, gives me food for thought all the better, but I really don't want to be put through the wringer. That's not entertainment to me, that's self inflicted torture.
I don't get the pleasure some people get out of hurt/comfort or angst most of the time for this same reason. "OMG, they're suffering, isn't it great?" And I'm thinking, not really. LOL, I'm still in it for the porn most of the time. Usually when boys are getting off, they aren't dying. ;)
