Humans for thousands of years have been going to Greek Theatres to watch tragedies performed on the stage and learn lessons from the vile behaviour on display..'pride goeth before a fall' (in Scot's case)

So we are really no different than our fellow humans througout time

Your right we are no different. Immorality is certainly a constant.

Do you note the difference between the Greek Tragedies and things like the Scott Peterson case? It is fiction versus reality. The people the tragedy befell are alive and more than likely having their suffering made worse by having to learn about gory autopsy details and the whatnot.

There really is nothing to support the notion that much of the Greek tragedies were based on the suffering of contemporarily living people.

To make real human suffering worse is clearly immoral.
