Is it normal to enjoy global conflict and crisis?

Something I've noticed about myself is I get an adrenaline rush when something catastrophic happens. I felt like bouncing off the walls on 9/11. I felt excited during the tsunami or in the aftermath of hurricane katrina. I've had daydreams of life during a nuclear war, somehow imagining life would be more meaningful in such a situation. Every time we have a thunder storm or major winds I sit at the window hoping it gets worse. I think if I ever saw a tornado in real life I'd drive towards it and am not sure when common sense would take over. What do you think about this adrenaline rush I seem to get in the face of destruction?

Answer:
I find myself often thinking similar thoughts. You enjoy the chaos. I think it's because in the chaos you're able to feel free of the ordinary constraints of life. You don't live your life chaotically but you're able to get a sense of vicarious relief from observing it swirling all around you. It makes you feel alive.
you can, but is it desirable ?
Want a rush join the marines, you get to blow stuff up, sometimes with people inside.
It's perfectly normal...why do you think car racing is the number spectator sport...its certainly not to watch cars go fast unscathed...

CNN soared to number 1 during Desert Storm...why? Because we're all like you...we didn't watch to see newsmen talk into a camera...we watched to see the destruction...we used the guise that we wanted to see America's enemies punished...but I'm sure if the Russians were broadcasting their battles we'd watch with the same enthusiasm ^^

Don't worry, you're perfectly normal...so grab the family and go see a bullfight or a good hockey game :)
