I must be fucked up ... but I don't really feel bad when something like this happens. I guess I sort of do, but not really. It's probably just because I'm so detatched from those people.
I feel bad when I hear of a terrorist attack, or a bomb going off in some nightclub, or something... I feel bad for the people and everything, I wonder how anybody could do that... but when it's nature's fury, not man's... and when I realize that there's absolutly nothing that I could have done, or anybody could have done, to prevent such a thing and there's nothing out of the ordinary that I could do (aside from giving blood, which I give anyway because ... I've got stupid blood and the Red Cross loves it)... I just don't feel *bad*
I dunno, I'm sure that there are other people who feel the same way, but can't say it because they don't want to sound like caloused fucks. Maybe not here, but elsewhere.
