Our brains are wired to handle traumatic events of ultraviolence to an extent, but naturally you would only experience a handful of these events. An accident, an altercation, dingo eats your baby, a couple battles for your nation; but that's really it. The only people who ever saw dozens or hundreds or actual deaths would be warlords and psychopaths, until the age of the internet began. Thanks to the internet, we've seen things and experienced artificial trauma previously exclusive to war criminals. The average person today has the more subliminal memories of ultraviolence than Genghis Khan.
We can handle it, and it doesn't seem to have much of an effect, but we don't have to every time. I try to avoid these videos when I can. But I didn't with this video, I watched it a few times.
We used to watch relatives, especially babies, dying of disease and injury pretty much constantly. We used to kill and butcher our own meat. It was almost an expectation that most of the male population would go to war at least once in their lifetime.
An accident, an altercation, dingo eats your baby, maybe a couple battles for your nation; but that's really it. The death experience within even the most difficult times in history is NOTHING compared to the level of ultraviolence you experience on the internet. You've likely seen more death so far this year than most infamous serial killers saw in their entire lifetimes. There are two dead people in the video above and you're shrugging it off, what does that say?
I've watched videos of Chinese people get turned into mincemeat by industrial machinery, these videos are shot at a long distance and only show people falling over.
Im scarred for life because of liveleak lol I used to drive a forklift for work and would always play some Final Destination scenario in my head each day. It didn't make me any more careful, it's just needless stress.
Can't handle reality?
What are you going to do when this hits your street?
She's gonna hide and wait for a man to take care of it.
She actually ran away (not in this clip) and caught a bullet for doing so.
Maybe she got hit first & then ran? But I doubt it.

And we wonder why were all so fucked up

If anything, we are extremely pampered.
