when empathy/sympathy turns to apathy
increasingly appalled by how i'm starting to lose interest in the tsunami disaster. when news first broke, i was really disturbed by the ever increasing death toll and predictions of epidemics that were to spread. it was on the forefront of my mind and things seems so bleak at that time.
