Precisely the point.
But mainly it's just pointing out the me-centric lines of thought for some upon hearing such news and seeing the harrowing visuals.
They don't put themselves in the shoes of the local families. Not even the dogs/cats in these homes or yards essentially barbecued where they stood. The first thing they go to is their next vacation and what they will/won't be able to do and the disappointment of
that.
Maybe it's not the worst thing because I guess they don't have to run through the same feelings being second hand witnesses as the empaths or empathically-inclined people here do. But it's just fascinating to see how some think versus others.
I don't know if it's necessarily an "agenda" of shame policing as one poster alleged. I just strolled in here and was surprised by some of the initial comments.
Now Silver coming in and high fiving insensitive commenter because he thinks it's cool and spices up a thread about a tragedy is something extra special though.
At least the initial commenters meant no ill will, even if perhaps their priorities here were slightly out of wack.
