You are not over reacting PashkinThePanther. You are just confronting something I call “proximity potency”. We all watch TV at dinnertime and see reports of the brutal atrocities against hundreds of thousands of innocent people in Sudan, and shake our heads without saying a word or missing a chew. It WILL be a topic of discussion when a stranger is accidentally killed at our work site or in a traffic accident we witnessed. When the neighbor next door dies of a heart attach at 45, we will spend some quiet minutes reflecting on mortality.

I don’t understand it. I only know that it exists for all of us. I believe it is part of what we describe with the words experience and wisdom.
