When you carry the weight of the world on your shoulders

We've heard it time and time again.. The shooting, the murder, the death, destruction.. 

You've seen and heard the voice telling you all of this on the screen. But, how often, if ever, do you really think of that person? 

Sure, they have an expressionless face. Their eyes cry no tears. How do they do it, you ask? 6 people just lost their lives and this person is on my TV screen telling it as if nothing happened. Sure, we've all said it.

I came across this article from many people in the TV business. It's worth a read for anyone in TV news and anyone who watches it.

It's a hard reality. That's why so many people get out of this business. So many people journey to the other side of that camera. Do we shelter our emotions so deep within us that we forget we have them?
