Children's Heroes

Fred was watching some old Western type movie last night and it got me thinking. Cowboys have been replaced by wrestlers and comic book characters. The violence doesn't stop or begin there. Humans are obsessed with destruction. Ever been stuck in traffic because of the accident on the other side of the median?
Perhaps its just the circle of life that draws humans. We all like to hear a sappy story with a happy ending.
I think we do it to feel a connection to each other. We all live separate lives; our worlds brush up against each other at the supermarket, in traffic or on the bus. But its only for a brief moment. Its the destruction and the creation that draws the one thing we all have in common out of us: emotions. And for more than just a brief moment we can all hold on it together.
