I felt bad when the news broke. Now I don’t feel so bad. I feel in awe of nature more than anything else. What the Hell is wrong with me? I mean this is as devastating as a nuclear attack. The scale of the disaster is tremendous.

But I just don’t feel it.

When Rwanda lost something like 300,000 people in a matter of weeks, I was deeply affected. Reading the paper one morning, I noticed tears hitting the page. I was quietly weeping.

During the madness in Bosnia I wept. Actually, I full-on cried. I was reading yet another story about the pointless killing, and how families had funerals at night to try to avoid snipers. There was a sidebar about a couple of kids getting shot while the family was burying their brother, and I just fucking lost it.

But this thing doesn’t resonate. I guess man’s cruelty get me. But when Mother Nature does it, deep down inside I know she’s just thinning the herd.
