Online emotions

Bored as i am, i was surfing wiki on random articles which lead me to this disturbing article.

Little that we know the impact of the internet has somehow fused itself to our very emotions triggering actions that some would not be aware of doing. In this case a is a chilling story of the actions of a japanese child under emotional pressure sparked by the internet phenomenon. Creepy... kinds of remind me of the killer lolis in the anime higurashi. Another disturbing fact is that there are some fans which idolize such acts by paying tribute in forms of art and fan fictions. Well we cannot blame the internet as most of this are psychological implications of the mind as children often mimic act that they have seen, coincidently there is an instance in todays paper where a 10 year old Texas child hangs himself while apparently mimicking saddams execution on TV.

Its true as what i have encountered over the years internet does somehow effects your emotions mild or rather deeply. Love, happiness, sadness, hate, jealousy, envy, pride .... no matter what emotion it is we have to rationalize and don't overstep our boundaries as the mind is a scary thing that can give birth to unimaginable consequences.
