Burst bubble : How to deal with a traumatizing event? Recently i stumbled upon a movie disc and on it was a movie called "American guinea pigs".
It wasn't a typical funny horror story, it was a ultra realistic documentary style movie.
There was a woman laying on a table (tied to it) and she was surrounded by masked group who injected something into her.
Then her skin was removed from her neck and her calves were cut of in pieces. 
I was shocked and i felt my heart pumping and i was about to faint. i stopped the movie and just waited for this rush to pass.
But i couldn't close the movie until i knew it is a movie not a real life event (if you have seen it you will know why, it is very real). So i played it again and dragged it manually to the end.

Then the carnage was followed by them chopping her arms and gutting her. I couldn't take anymore so i skipped to the end. 
Just like all the movies this had a clip from the sequel too.
It was a new born baby and a little boy on the table this time, i was too traumatized to remember but the text below meant that this would be the sequel.

This was hard for me and my mind burst into a sea of emotions and it kept reminding me the equally disturbing real life events i unfortunately witnessed in my life. I had no other idea but to write them all down on a book.Now whenever i feel i'm loosing my edge with my still very young practice i read that book and somehow it immediately bring me back to mindfulness.



This was meant to be entertaining to some audience and someone knowingly gave her baby to be presented as the next pray to this. I know the world isn't alice's wonderland but i am left with some questions and i hope you can help me....

1:- How do we understand this kind of sick entertainment in a Buddhist perspective (why do people enjoy this kind of things)?

2:- How to deal with this kind of emotional trauma?
Know that they are only actors and don't watch it if it's going to traumatize you. Don't watch any movies unless you like distraction.
