If you put a bunch of people in a room and showed two TV programs...one the Jerry Springer Show and the other a documentary on Norman Vincent Peale (power of positive thinking) I'd bet most people wouold graviate to the JS TV. The reason being there is a 'pull' towards it.
Another example...you are at a grocery store...a fight breaks out between the clerk and customer, the customer is raving. Do you keep watching your own items being scanned and carry on your business or do you 'tune in' to the argument? Most people in the store stop what they are doing a tune in to listen. DRama has a 'lure' that is reinforced and then it has a 'life of its own'. Truly, we should not like drama, we should love adventure and new possibilities instead. I think 'drama' was its substitute in our 'taming'...keeps us corralled.Yes, but as we gain awareness we have more power to choose and thus resist the pull!
