I Hope I Am Drama Free

Sitting here in the doctor office..hoping this will be my last visit here... I'm fairly certain it will be.. just noticed a news announcement about a shooter in the DC area that open fired on several people in a Navy yard there.. I don't understand how people can do something like that.. but even less do I understand why we make such a big deal of it.. yes.. it is tragic.. yes it needs to be reported on to give the public information.. even since there might be two more people involved.. but don't sensationalize this. It seems like I've heard recap after recap monitoring all that has happened. This just gives fuel to those people who may be unstable enough to want the attention... good or bad.  I think at times we all tend to enjoy some attention... Children seek it and will act out to get it. We as adults tend to focus our actions in a more positive manner .. but still occasionally there are those that have never grown up.. the people in this group are susceptible to influence.. and the reason a lot of people will go out of their way to make a big splash in the media... is for the recognition.."Hey!!...Look at what I've done!" ...and we as a society promote it.  We are all drawn to drama, whether it be in our observations.. or in our private lives... look at how well soap operas have done over the years... and then the night time dramas on television.. it is a world of drama and we all are a part of it... even to the point of instigation of drama by certain comments we make.. or actions we perform.  Sometimes we are not quite aware of what direction this drama will take or whom it will affect. We just know we make a difference.. It is sad really... and yes.. I've been guilty of that too in the past.. I'm trying to put away my past and deal with the positive aspects of my life... I'm doing a fantastic job of avoiding the drama for awhile now..  and I hope I am drama free.
