Why don't I give a ****

[Saeha]

I've learned the smarter a person is, the more emotion they have to deal with. Those who aren't so bright usually aren't too emotional. I can't say it's fact but definitely something I noticed.

I mean emotion comes from reasoning and knowledge mostly, but it's an instinctive outcome of that reasoning. A certain circumstance will cause your brain to come to all these conclusion in like a millisecond. All those thoughts you have on the subject will arise, while if you lack a bunch of knowledge or experience regarding certain circumstance, you won't feel it as deeply emotionally, as someone who has.

I've been to Paris many times and have friends there. All these thoughts came into my head, not that I was crying but I was definitely feeling all of these emotions hoping those I knew we're safe. I could imagine shootings happening at certain places I've been, the reactions of people during all of this, all of these thoughts caused me to feel.

XDXD so funny

this whole text is a joke

OT: idc either about the dead people, I care about the problem

Really? Because I've noticed that it's usually the uneducated that let their emotions out wild and stress over the little things.

He's actually half-right. The smarter you are, the more you realize the world is very little rainbows and sunshine.

If you can't see the difference between 1500 people dying in 1500 separate instances and different causes separate from each other, and over 100 people being massacred at one time in one isolated incident, you might be a retard.

All life is equal in the face of death. It doesn't matter how, when or where they died.
I wish the best of luck to everyone, even the ones who are unknown.

I used to get upset over everything but then I realized it's a waste of my time. You do have a point though, they say dumber people tend to be happier as they're not concerned with much.

Well everyone has reasoning. So everyone feels somewhat, it's just to a smarter person the reasoning behind that feeling may not be valid enough to react over to say a baby.

Yes it does. By this logic, there's no point in paying attention to the holocaust because, even though 11 million people died during that one era, the number of people who've died over all of time is far higher.

There's a difference between 1500 die every day in separate incidents around the world, and 100 people being killed all at once in its own separate incident.

Even idiots are aware of that.

You'd be surprised.

Not really as much as you'd think.

There is a difference yes, but objectively no life is more valuable than another. So unless you knew someone who died among those 100 people, it shouldn't affect you more than it didn't affect you last week when thousands of people died.

It's not about lives being more valuable, it's about the incidents. No one is saying the 100 lives lost yesterday were worth more than any other life lost, just that the incident behind it is more notable than any incident of just one death because it's 100 at once compared to 1 at once.

It has more effect because those 1000s of people didn't die all at once from the exact same cause at the exact same time.

The difference is the same difference between spilling a single grain of rice and spilling an entire bag of rice.

Well i just think because those france people are people some of us do not know it is nt like emotionally hard

But actually there are some people that have feelings but cannot show them

It depends on your mental state like i know some people that cry extremely fast even when getting shouted at but some are really capable of taking a lot of pain without tears

 

[Lance171]

about Paris. It's not like I don't care at all, it's sad. But no matter what I see, I don't have any hard feelings about it. Like not only this incident right now, but a lot of cruel things. People been calling me cruel and emotionless a lot of times.
I can not create any hard feelings such as being sad that over 100 innocent people just died in France. It's not that I do not see this as bad or tragic, I very well do, I just can't build anything from it. Neither hate, nor sadness.

What about you? Are you emotionally touched by events like these?

not really sad because im kind of heartless too. as human we tend to really only care about stuff in are direct line of thought. but what I will say is im almost glad this happened because now people are seeing that we need to constantly police the middle east. if we aren't there kicking there ass they retaliate. its sad but hate is so ingrained in there heads it'll never stop. Europe and American should take in woman and kids, male kids under 8 only. obviously im not a decision maker probably for good reason, but I've been to Iraq and Afghanistan and yeah I've met some decent natives but on a whole they're savages and they hate us. the good ones have long already left those crap countries. get ready for the air strikes people!!!

True but there's a difference in reasoning between the two. One who feels but doesn't show it, was told at some point that it was weakness to show emotion. While the other crying wasn't, that's the difference in that case.

 

[Sir Francis Drake]

Yeah, the shooting sucks, but most people aren't crying about it. Life goes on .If someone calls you heartless for not being a wreck about this, why aren't they crying and freaking the **** out?

I think I know what you mean, but respectfully disagree. While it makes sense, that if you have experience and memories about a certain act, obviously your body and mind will react differently than from one who never experienced something like this before.
But what if I were to tell you, that there are people who have been to these exact emotions so many times that they do not cause any emotions in them anymore. The key word you were looking for (in my opinion) was experience. It has nothing to do with being "smart", only with knowledge and experience, that's a huge difference. People in Africa without any education, could be a victim of such an act, without having any knowledge about these things before, and still feel the same as you, who know something about it.

Also I have to disagree with your argument that says that "the smarter a person is, the more emotion they have to deal with."
I think it's quite the opposite. If you are smart enough to realize, that things like these happen quite some times, why would you let your feelings get ahead of you instead of just accepting it? For you who have "bonds" with people in France, it might be a little easier to think about it more rather than one without, which just shows again that emotions come from experience.

All in all I do not think emotions have anything to do with being "smart", every human has emotions, it's just that everyone lets them out differently, or not. I do not think you can determine how smart a person is just by seeing how much emotion he/she lets out. Less educated persons just tend to let the same emotions out all the time so that they have a stubborn view and won't let the other one's out (imo).

Indeed as for me because i already saw my own country crumble and ISIS causes chaos there i am kinda used to deaths by their hands

Also some cousins i think died as warriors in the war

Well beside sdeath i had a lot of depressive stuff in my life so i actually do not feel that much anymore because of the past

I actually have no hope at all

I just cannot think ISIS stop

I believe the Era of happiness will neve appear and the world will fall into war and i think maybe in a far future where i am already old man the world i wished will happen

SInce i have no hope there is no reason to feel sad in the first place

@bold: No I used the word I intended. But I disagree, experience let's you handle it better sure. But I'm still saddened whenever I lose a friend or loved one, even though it's happened before. Like I said it's the reasoning and knowledge behind it. I'm sad because I know I'll never see them again, coupled with the memories I have of being with them. No matter how many times I go through it I'll still be sad.

@green: Keyword is "Deal", which in fact is true. Smarter people deal with more emotions, while people not as smart don't, and let the emotion govern their thought choice.

 

[The Demon Hawk]

These events have become such a common occurrence especially for countries where this happens as a regular thing, that if someone doesn't have any hard feelings, it's understandable. But me personally, I always try to imagine myself there, so I genuinely sympathize with all of the people involved and victimized.

Oh wait if I understood you correctly you mean that smarter people deal with emotions more rather than surpress them?
If yes then I agree. "The closer you walk to a problem the smaller it becomes."

People are social media sad about the event.
