i was just thinking about how numb i am to some things today in my place as a 14 year old. i see violence on tv, i dont flinch and i watch. i see videos on the internet of real people who are getting killed..hell everyone has. what are the affects of growing up with all this stuff being so easily accesible and seeing it? im able to seperate truth from reality but sometimes i may stumble across something i guess my mind cant fully grasp and i dont feel anything. an example would be a video from all the protests in the middle east: a crowd of people protesting the government are fired upon and immediatly you see 6 poeple hit the ground and all else scatter. 2 out of the 6 people that got shot are living and wounded yet i have a hard time grasping what just happend and forget about it all together (yes it sits in my head but it gives me no emotional feelings)..is something wrong with me? i stumble upon some of this stuff sometimes and was just wondering, am i to numb to feel it or is there another component as to why this happens? thanks ahead of time!
