Being the utterly unemotional, apathetic, and heartless person that I am, I am an expert at weathering my way through even the saddest of movies and books without shedding a tear. How is this possible? Let me show you.
Before I show you how to remain unaffected while watching even the worst of tragedies, allow me to make a few remarks about sad movies and books. They are absolutely and utterly useless and worthless - even damaging, to those who indulge in them, for they mess with the viewer's (or reader's) emotions, causing a great degree of unnecessary sadness and grief.
So then, let me show you how to avoid grief.
1. Do not relate to the characters. At all. Remind yourself, at every passing moment, that the characters of the sad story are completely fictional. It helps a lot.
2. Better yet - why bother watching or reading such balderdash?
