Ya know, I really feel bad about not feeling bad. Honest, I do. Perhaps our society has gone too far into the 'survival of the fittest' Darwinian attitude these days. I mean, look at all the random violence on the news each night. We sit and watch it while eating dinner, shrug and say "that's too bad" or "gee, isn't that terrible?"...but we can't do anything about it. The next day, more of the same. Why should we feel worse about this? Because lots and lots of people died at once? Many of those same people might have died over the course of the year, two years, five years...but do we hear about it? Of course not. It's the scale of this matter that makes it international news.
What I'm saying is, yes, it is a sad state that we really can't feel emotion. I emphesize with those who have lost people. I'm very glad that I'm not personally hurt. I can only hope that those in the tsunami-destroyed areas get back on their feet without much trouble.
