What is Drama?
Is it when people try to make a mountain out of a mole? Is it there because people can’t function without some drama in their lives? Or Does drama just happens?
Drama as listed in the Merriam Webster Dictionary; Drama: a composition in verse or prose intended to portray life or character or to tell a story usually involving conflicts and emotions through action and dialogue and typically designed for theatrical performance:
We live our lives going through the bad and the good; the ups and downs and we have to deal with problems and issues most of the time. In my point of view dealing with problems is part of life; so I can understand some people being a little dramatic when they have problems. I have no trouble with that. However my thing is when people change everything or anything they face into drama. I refer to them as the PITA dramatic people. Is it that some people can’t go on with life without drama?
Some people need to have drama in their lives to achieve excitement? “No drama No excitement”. That is sick my friend. I turn to my problems or issues and try to solve them according to rational and logical ways. I think everyone or anyone can be dramatic about something however it takes great attitudes and great characters to behave differently.
So is it ok to be dramatic some of the time? It’s not up to me to say whether it is or not, but it’s my opinion to say that a little drama is permissible because were all humans and we all got emotions and feelings that interfere in our problems and lives.
Can you stop people from being dramatic?
I guess you can try; but who is born dramatic is and will be so. Our environment shapes us for whether to be or not to be.
Why is it so big of a deal for you with people that are dramatic?
I think it’s an add-on to things in other words it’s unneeded trouble in most of the scenarios. People that get too dramatic, get on my nerves.
I’d like to know what people think of drama in general and people that are dramatic!
Nice post Mo. I understand it when someone gets so dramatic as a reaction to a certain situation- and not all situations that is. But when a person is too dramatic (as a characteristic and not as a reaction) then I have to admit that such people give me a nervous breakdown. As you said, life consists of the bitter & sweet, we should be up to facing difficulties as much as we’re willing to enjoy pleasure. And there are many ways of achieving excitement other than making a big deal out of nothing, because this annoys others and draws the wrong kind of attention in the wrong way rather than achieving excitement.
Anyway, I think if we all follow what Henry David Thoreau said: “as you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler”, then life will be much easier!
And I guess the reason behind being so dramatic is –besides environment and life circumstances- an empty space in the personality or a psychological imbalance. So I believe we can change dramatic people ONLY IF they had the will to change as well, with love, care, and conversation to show them that there are other more successful ways to deal with situations and to enjoy life. If they don’t change, then, as you said, at least we’ve tried
I agree with what you said; and I love this quote “as you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler”, then life will be much easier”
