Warning : Prolonged use will cause damage

For the past 6 years I have lived with a soap watcher . In that time I have seen these trivial " fun " drama's become more and more violent , more and more depressing , include more and more shouting , screaming and conflict based and even nasty situations in their plot lines , and in characters they all portray . Tension , tension , tension is all they pump out . So why is this a big deal ? They are only " soaps operas " after all ?
    Well the problem is most are on T.V daily , and they all pump out this negative bile in their plot lines . As the years go by they have had to steadily increased the level of these shouty vile story lines or they fear they will  loose viewers if the other channels version is more deemed more dramatic  , hence there is an ever increasing shock factor being used . Films can be shocking but they are not pumped into your house everyday ( well not the same plot anyway ) The trouble is I feel the effects of this negative viewing is cumulative and after so many years I'm not sitting in the same room as this crap . I'm sure they are damaging people . I have come to hate these programs more overtime , they grate against my soul ( and that's no exaggeration )
  Its strange how strongly you can feel about something " trivial " over time . Add decades of exposure to something and you have the very real possibility of achieving total hatred of a thing . This takes time of course , but once achieved there is no going back . Of course you may even be quite surprised by what you project this level of hate onto . It maybe be something quite mundane , but that doesn't devalue your opinion . This leads me on to realise how others may feel about situations and subjects in life that I deem trivial , so I guess something good has come of this little rant !
