Emotional blackmail

 

So much tragedy and loss and heartbreak is used to tug on our emotional heartstrings. Turning on any kind of media and you are exposed to it. The war, starving and abused children, tortured and abandoned animals, it gets to be too much. It hurts and scars and scares us. I turn on the tv and shortly thereafter turn it off. It emotionally wounds us. What's the answer, I don't really know. Don't want to ignore it all, but self-protection comes into play. Right now I just want to rescue a kitty that is hanging around the home. My cat, Kitty will not tolerate another, but I want to help the little cat, who runs as soon as I open the door. I guess that is the best answer, trying to do the best we can do with what's going on in our own homes and right outside our doors.
