Just because they love 'Thomas Shelby (a character from Peaky Blinders)' and he said, "I am already dead (because of the war scenario)", they (watchers) too are already dead.

We are the Peaky fucken Blinders.

Digital exposure to trauma is not the same as true experience, but without a reference, people can "believe" they know what it is. Watching the landing at Normandy in 'Saving Private Ryan,* which was a very realistic depiction apparently, is not the same as experiencing the horror in reality. Veterans of Normandy landing walked out of the cinema due to the trauma it brought up, but everyone else just sat through, enjoying the horror. Then after, they think they know what it was like.

Two people can go through the same moment and walk away carrying completely different weights (tge human body is indeed an impressive phenomenon)

Maybe every scratch is not a scar!

And this is what people need to remember! Two people can have the same traumatic experience, and one be weaker for it, the other stronger. One can be harmed by it, the other helped by it. This doesn't mean that we should traumatise everyone and see who gets stronger, rather that it is possible for everyone to improve their reaction to experience in order to grow, rather than suffer.
