I love conflict, You love conflict, We all love conflict!

I think it is interesting that when you turn on the news, all you hear about is conflict! It's what turns us on, gets us interested, and makes us take that second look. Our favorite kind of conflict though seems to be, the conflict in other peoples lives. huh...

Yesterday on the news, a little blurb came up about Demi Lovato, saying she "was headed to rehab..."...that was all it took, and immediately I started thinking "why?" and the TV had my full attention.

What is it that makes us so interested in other people's problems? What makes YOU so interested in other people's  problems?

For me, conflict in lives of people my age I find more interesting then conflict in adults lives. I want to see how the young person will react to the publicity, or how they will respond in general, then I tend to go on and think..."what would I have done?" I can keep myself occupied for hours in this manner....

So now I ask you...

What specific kinds of conflicts catch YOUR attention? and why?
