Why is it that television shows sometimes show people dying on screen? It doesn't happen that often, but I wonder what compels them to air something like that.
Tonight I was watching the mentalist and at the end a man who had a terminal disease decided to take pills to kill himself, and they showed his last seconds. A similar situation happened in House when Amber died after a car accident, and that got me too. I am sitting here crying while I write, I don't understand how or why they show something so sad... I don't know why it makes me cry so much, but thinking about people dying and seeing it on television is sooooo sad. My great grandmother passed away last year at 100 and she left very slowly, and everyone stood around the bed waiting for her to go. I tried so hard to stay and be there for the rest of my family but I couldn't be in the room waiting for something so bad too happen. I had to leave the room, and it gets me every time when people are suffering.
