…when you read about other feeling miserable?
I’m not. But lots of people seems to do that when they read this kind of gossip press.
I did a Swedish version of this drawing couple of years ago and now I’ve done an English version.
I think this kind of papers look the same all over the world. I call them cruel fairy tales/comics for grown ups. The only difference is that they use real people as characters instead of drawn ones. I like grown downs stories better. They have superheros and good powers always wins in the end 🙂
Are we such cannibals that we want to eat unhappy people and feel good about it afterwards?
I hope not, but really, why is it amusing to read about celebrities in misery? I never got that, but then I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer 🙂
I never grew up and I’m still in fairytale land where people that eat unhappy people loose when the story ends.

Everytime I think I’ve seen it all,the world sneers and throws me another curve. One would be living a pretty pathetic life to enjoy this,no? I will stick with the stories where virtues win out in the end.

That’s what I wonder, it’s called the ‘Tall Poppy Syndrome’ cutting down anyone who stands out for any reason – we do not often hear them praised or read Good News in the News Papers

The problem with posts by unhappy people is that to show appreciation without writing a comment is that you must click like when you don’t like their difficulties – just the fact that they can write

I have solved the celebrity problem. I don’t pay any attention to them. Don’t even know who they are except on the newspapers at the grocery store checkout. I don’t care about what goes on in their lives.

What a simple solution – seriously – we gave up buying Newspapers and magazines, just listen to the bad news on the Radio and our station has plenty of good news too.

Great idea! I don’t watch tv news, they’re too scary and depressive. I read blogs and get a completely different view of the world. I know the world seems to be at constant war, but here on wp I can see that the world also is a world full of love.

Yes it is amazing how small the world is up here. Seems smaller than the distances we travel here just to get to town.
