My reaction? I not been having much of a reaction over the incident. I feel I'm apathetic towards most tragedies and disasters that have happened. I don't vocalize or express anything whilst others are saddened by the event. Naturally I do feel something emotionally inside towards the earthquake and the cyclone but that feeling is fleeting. I often want to tell people, "Yes, it is a tragedy these people died but natural disasters happen all the time - earthquakes, hurricanes, floods. More people die of hunger and infectious diseases every day, and I don't see you emotionally grieve for them." Somehow I have put a logical viewing on an emotionally-trying event. I do this with happy events as well - birthdays, anniversaries, holidays. These events occur every year and after a while they tend to become tedious and routine.
