God wants you to see the truth. Satan wants to pull the veil of lies and secrecy over your eyes and lull you into a false sense of security shrouded by shadows.
“The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness.”
Disturbing images in, fear outrage anger out. Products of the devil. I am not afraid, I'm simply not giving the devil my attention
after that he says he dry-heaved and immediately went to his children's school, took them out, and his wife found him sobbing and holding onto them on the floor. I don't know how he continued on but he did. Full armor of God I guess? it's kind of a gift.
Brother I once thought similar things, that I chose to bear the burden of knowing all this evil. However the Bible has helped clear my mind of that pursuit. Consider the following scripture and please take another look at u/AnotherInTheFire quoted scripture as well and ask yourself if your viewpoint and God's line up.
Philippians 4:8
Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are of serious concern, whatever things are righteous, whatever things are chaste, whatever things are lovable, whatever things are well-spoken-of, whatever things are virtuous, and whatever things are praiseworthy, continue considering these things.
I understand your sentiment but this is real life. Things like this happen to children. If we cower from it now on a video, how useful will we be if we ever see it in real life?
People complain that nobody helped her but none of those people ever saw anything like that in real life. Nobody knew what to do. But if there had been a paramedic or even a nurse they would know what to do because they have seen tragedy enough to not be shocked by it when it's most important.
I hope so but I base this on the first time I saw a dead body. It was a traffic accident and I got there before police or anybody else. Seeing the dead body freaked me out so much I was no good to anybody.
I did start watching morbid things and I would not say I am desensitized but have come to terms that I will possibly see horrible things at some point and I can't be a deer in the headlights especially if my children, or any children, are involved.
I don't like having seen what I have seen and I don't like knowing what I know but I think I would rise to the challenge if anything like this happens in my life.
Some people are naturally calm in chaotic situations, I'm one of them. I'm sorry you had to go through that, though. I just think it pollutes our soul.
do not watch it. Satan would love it if you did.

Knowing that you have the agency to hold evildoers accountable probably makes it harder to swallow.
How can you ever hope to fight and overcome your opponent if you pay him no mind?
instinct and God's power. simple.
It doesn't mean what you think. Has NOTHING to do with your physical eyes. It refers to the pineal gland...

We are watching it with morbid interest. Not of God. We know what happened. Seeing disturbing images over and over only invite evil spirits in.
edit:
there is no reason to desensitize yourself to this. you will act accordingly, through God's will

Walk through the shadow of the valley of death and do not be afraid, my brother.
Agree.
Nah Satan wants you to enable the problem.
