I think one part of my emotional response, or lack thereof, is that I cannot relate this tragedy to anything in my own life. I cannot truely empathize.
If I hear of someone facing the possibility of a loved on in a coma for an undetermined amount of time I feel intense emotion. I've experienced the emotions caused by being in that position. I can sympathize with those affected by the tsunami. I cannot truely understand the situation an empathize.
Perhaps this is an illustration of the power of "walking in another's shoes". Unless you've experienced it you can NEVER understand the emotions of any situations.
