Entertaining Emotions

Right now i am on a friends watching marathon, and am currently on season 6. And as i paused the series to go and grab a bite, as usual I went on the socrates dialectics and realized something. The process went as...

Q: why do i watch Friends?
A:because its entertaining

Q:Why is it entertaining?
A: Because it is fun and humor.

Q:So is fun and humor entertainment?
A: Yes.

Q: But what do fun and humor produce as end result?
A: Emotions. namely happiness

Q:Is the series real?
A: No. Its fiction.

Q: Is the reason for the smiles and happy feeling real?
A: No. Fiction is not all reality

Q: Is the happiness real?
A: yes

Q: So actually am I watching the series for an emotional gain?
A: Yes

Q: So are all the people who watch the series do that for the same gain?
A: Maybe

Q: Why may be?
A: they might also be watching in to learn pop culture and to learn things as well as entertainment.

Q: So do people watch series like "kyunki saas bhi kabhi bahu thi" for the same reason..?
A: Yes, namely emotion and to learn pop culture/fashion etc.

Q: How do you say pop culture?
A: Because i have seen people selling clothes and asking for clothes and accesories based on the series. I have seen parents looking fo a role model child, and children looking for answers for lifes question.

Q: but the saas bahu series is tragic at times isn't it?
A: yes

Q: But people still love it isn't it?
A: yes they do.

Q: so do people want to be sad?
A: Must be, but the series is not sad all the times.

Q: Do people find being sad as entertainment?
A: must be.

Q: Do people find emotions entertaining?
A: Certainly.

Q: But being sad isn't healthy is it?
A: I guess not, because science says that laugh reduces BP and sadness increases BP. Emotions manifest themselves as physical changes in Blood and heart and psychological changes.

Q: What about the theory that people work to find happiness?
A: I donot know........Must be wrong.....People must be as interested in sadness then isn't it?
