Snuff: Not Safe for Children to Read

[isindra]

I'm a fan of the gritty police drama, and I used to pride myself on never covering my eyes no matter how gory horror films became. I laughed my way through Friday(s) the 13th, etc... in the 80s. I would have seen Faces of Death, but someone told me there was animal torture in those so I opted out. Still, I was as curious as any troubled teenager.

I've had a similar experience of getting "softer". Things that when I was younger I used to enjoy or not be bothered by now upset me.

It's an odd feeling. It may be that I've seen too many awful things at this point, a critical mass of horror, or it may just be that I'm weary of what used to be novel. I think it might even be that I'm less angry than I was, and therefore no longer need the outlet.

No matter which is the cause, I think it's a good thing. When i think of working with criminals, I feel like the greater psychological distance between where they are and where I am, the better.
