20,000 People are dead.

In Afghanistan and Pakistan. Earthquake. I should be riveted.

And I care. I do.. but I’m so desensitized now, it makes me sad.

9-11, Tsunami, Katrina.. and this is huge, second only to the Tsunami.. and there will be minimal Red Cross donations- cuz we all gave to Katrina.

Man, would we have an opportunity here to be the hero, show these people we will be there for them. They hate us, and they’re hurting.. and if we step up and help.. maybe they’ll see we’re not so bad.

Problem is, we are. We all look and sigh and say “how awful” – but if anyone is like me.. my brain hurts from all of it.

I mentioned in an earlier blog that I have just emotionally shut down about huge tragedies. I can’t wrap my head around them – but I only remember this happened when I log onto yahoo news. I feel terrible, like a “typical selfish American”, and I don’t know what to do about it. I guess I’ll send some money, and I’ll say a prayer or two.. but more than that.. I want to feel as devestated as i did for lesser things. I want that little piece of my soul back.
