As I was typing it, I was thinking there would be a psychological name for it. It seems like something they've likely classified and tried to measure.
If you'll permit me a vulgarity, my give a damn button is broken. For PR, I sent off two donations. It's the same as I did for both Florida and Texas. I don't view it as buying karma, or anything. I view it as being more that I'm actually obligated to do.
We don't care need to to overly care, do anything, or devote energy. Being obligated to outrage is a silly social trend. It's unfortunate and it's surely painful for those most closely impacted, but we are continually bombarded with news of tragedy.
Selfish or not, I'm pretty sure it's more healthy to just accept it and acknowledge it. I'm absolutely not saying it wasn't tragic, I'm just saying I am unwilling to get emotionally invested in it.
I suspect that makes sense, I'm mostly just trying to explain it in more detail because I don't know of a more precise term for it. If this happened in my area, I'd be much more emotionally invested.
