What Decides Me to Respond to News Posts?

Like many others my eyes were caught
by the title A grandmother was killed
trying to save her grand children. I read
the post and felt like I was just reading
the article in the paper., I wanted to
respond but my mind stopped me.,
The poster never gave one word
about how she felt reading that awful
story., Was that what made me go on
looking? What was it that made me
not respond?>
I think at times we subconsciously feel'
like responding because the poster gave
us an example of how that made her
feel when she read it.,Then if its just word for
'word post about a horrible happening some
of us feel like we just read the newspaper
and so what as this keeps happening.
I think for me that the post where the'
writer shares how she felt about the news'
she is relating draws my attention and my
\response too.This is just my own opinion.

I saw that post but have not read it yet. I was going to. I know what you mean. But not everyone here is a writer. So they write the post in their view point. I have written posts and responded to posts and left things out myself. Honestly the title of that post is just sad. Let me go read it.

We should all give this some thought before posting. Ask ourselves the valid questions.
