Every time I find myself stressed out, it's because I do things primarily driven by growth.
One way of watering down the effects of violence is to approach it in a more lighthearted way. I don't mean to say that you laugh when somebody has their arm sawn off, but you can diffuse fear with humour.
I do get the comics online I guess but it's such a pain. I'd rather just get them in the paper and read them.
