More Emotional Porn

Another way that some people process their emotions is by creating drama through the comment sections on internet articles.  They say mean and nasty things, people respond in kind, they have a heated argument, they sit behind their keyboards feeling justified in their positions, and nothing effective happens, except that they release their emotions. Apparently, it "works" for them.  Unfortunately, they become addicted to it and go further away from a place of healthy expression.  On top of all of that, they create an impression that the world is absolutely filled with completely broken people.  How often do you read the comment section of an internet article and come away feeling good about the world? If your answer is anything other than "very rarely", then I must be doing something wrong. It's generally a bad experience.

With that in mind, something I'm going to do is start leaving positive comments in on-line articles.  I intend to start with M-Live, because they have a section that is dedicated to the Muskegon area, and also because there are a lot of really broken people who comment there.  Feel free to join me.  I think it would be wonderful to have a bunch of people post positive statements in the comments and refuse to be pulled into arguments.  Maybe over time we could start to make the world feel a little less broken.
