Subject: Re: Had Panic Attack

Last night, I watched a movie that my son had rented, "28 Days". He
and his
friends had already watched it, so he left it for me to view. But
before he left, he had been a little kurt with me over a trivial
thing, and it made me feel very bad.
Then with the subject matter of the gory movie, and his last words
to me, all
of a sudden the horror of things like that becoming a reality, and
thinking, if even for a fleeting moment that it went throught my head,
that this kind of thing influences the sensitivities of ppl, I got
this under-the-skin prickly feelijng and fear and jumpiness, and
terror go through my body. Fortunately, it calmed down a little, and
when my son came home, I got the courage to mention the incident
between us, and he said, "No, no, I wasn't mad at all, I'm sorry. I
just didn't think it was, (the news story I mentioned) a big thing."
That made me feel better; but still makes me wonder why he won't
get more
involved with what is going on in the world. It's like a lot of
young ppl are; they don't want to know about things and discuss
things, he just wants to live his life. But I am so afraid that soon
the realities of the world will meet him face-to-face and he won't
know why or what to do.

Youngster are like that, all over the world. As long as he doesn't have
to deal with the realities of the world maybe it's best to let him enjoy
his care free time. Once it is gone it will never come back.

BTW, it must have been 28 Days Later by Danny Boyle, right? I like that
movie very much, but I have a weird predilection for horror and gore, so
it might have something to do with that. And recently I learned that it
was shot with quite a low budget digital cam (well as low budget as
professional cams come) so I was even more impressed with it. But
apparently there is also a Sandra Bullock movie called 28 Days, something
about rehab, and I have had a few confusing discussion regarding zombies
and rehab...
