Yes, You DO Love the Drama

I always silently crack up (OK, sometimes not so silently) whenever people tell me "oh, I'm just so tired of the drama!"

Because the truth is:

No, you're not tired of it. You secretly love it. (and I'm talking to you, too -- not just to the drama queens)

How do I know? Because "A Christmas Carol" is the #1 movie at the box office right now -- and Dickens was all about drama, wasn't he?

In fact, the highest grossing movies of all time weren't comedies -- they were ALL dramas.



Yes, we love the drama. When things get too quiet, we seek it out. And have you noticed how many of the supremely popular television shows these days are dramas? Good grief, I can't even count how many "CSI" versions are out there.

Drama, drama, drama.

Say you're sick of it all you want, but consider that maybe -- just maybe -- you're not.

What I'm pondering these days is...what would life look like -- REALLY -- without the drama? Without struggle? Without conflict?

Hmmmm, it's hard to picture, isn't it? I know for me, there's a fear of boredom that lurks around the concept of a drama-free life.

But I wonder -- could I possibly just watch a movie, or play a video game, or read a novel if I felt my life was too perfect to be interesting?

Or maybe it's just hard to grasp the idea of interesting perfection.

Or maybe it's perfect just the way it is.

Or maybe all of the above.

Or maybe none of the above.

Yeah, that's the space I'm hanging out in lately. It's quite a conundrum, and I'm digging the complexity of the questions that arise.

(Hey, I said you could AskAmyAnything -- I never said I had ALL the answers ALL the time).

Besides, doesn't it just make sense to Know for Yourself, anyway?
