Just Thought You'd Like to Know

The human race is slowly losing all emotion. Empathy is becoming a thing of the past; everything is cost-benefit now. There is no denying it; the process of physical stimulus evoking an emotion is slowly being dulled; like Novacane dulling a tooth before an operation. We are all becoming like the news reporter; we have seen so much bad and so much horror that we are slowly becoming dulled to feeling emotion itself.

I know I don’t feel much emotion anymore. You see a family of 5 have died in a car crash on the news and what do you do? You change the channel. No emotion, no facial change, no real emotional response. Life has become a perfect representation of the cost-benefit response model. You do something only after weighing up the cost and the possible benefit of it.

…I wasn’t actually going anywhere with that; just thought you’d like to know :p
