A brief look into a book I was reading, and the affects on my interpretation of real life situations.

amusement, but I dare say that Prison Break is not one of these hollow 
shows.  Whether her death was necessary as part of the plot or as a 
need of the real-life woman who played her character (perhaps she 
simply wanted to explore other job offers) is part of the equation, and 
yet the fact is that there is a message strong enough that a man 
accentuated it with the death of a heroic character, not merely in the 
implication of her death, but by actually showing us her bullet-laden 
body upon the floor with blood still spilling from the wounds.

And to think that I had learned not to cry, not to feel, to detach from
this visual imagery, to lay in comfortably apathy.  If this was a real 
life event, there would be little point in tears; they would not bring 
her back to life or finish her life quest for her.  And yet in this 
instance it has sucked me into the show even further, now hoping that 
justice is finally delivered.  I actually have some hope for this new 
FBI agent, although he might just be a paid employee working for the 
"dark side." 

With real life examples of pain and suffering, there is a chance to act
rationally.  Either to feel the pain empathetically and to move to 
correct the situation, or to admit defeat (in which case there may or 
may not be reason to subject one self to the pain of others) and move 
along with one's own life.  This is not, by any means, an end to this 
exploration.  It is, rather, a beginning of a life long shift to 
wonderment, openness, action, and careful examination on a conscious 
level (so as not to allow these violent images to permeate my 
subconscious).  Once I finish the book (by the end of this month) I'll 
post more thoughts on the matter and a brief evaluation of the book.
