A cross-posting of a paragraph from Aisha's recent post. It tells a lot about humans reactions to overwhelming emotions
"A group across from me drink cocktails engaged in casual conversation. Politics, I think until I hear them. A meeting of those with missing family. One lady with a page boy cut and blue jeans talks about her father. He went to Nepal and never returned. The other, a son in Iraq. "Do you think we'll ever know what happened?" Ms. Page asks as she takes a sip. A lady with coke bottle glasses shrugs as she looks at her nails. I'm amazed by how neutral they seem. They could be discussing the weather for all the emotion revealed. Maybe time heals? Maybe it numbs".

or are feelings dead?
human mind is the biggest mystry....it finds solace in any way...
When such things become part of our life...our mind starts reacting to them in a normal way. Sigh...it's a pity though that we all have reached such a phase in our life where tragic news, that once shook us, now seems to just another news.
The biggest tragedy is...humans have no other option but to continue to live with those memories and and to numb or even kill them, inside them.
