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."

No that's not what I'm saying, tons of intelligent people suppress emotions that come out externally in weird ways.

If you're more knowledgeable you have more emotion to deal with. Not only because you know more about the situation, which could be possible outcomes, reactions, facts and truths, etc. But your thought and reasoning comes from more places as well.

For instance:

I'm sitting here at an airport, hungry and a little agitated..but I have enough knowledge to deal with or handle the emotion. Though I still feel it...The emotion came from my body knowing it needs energy, I know this and I will supply

While a baby in my situation doesn't have the knowledge to deal with it and the emotion ends up governing it's thought. Making it cry. While the baby has no clue at all why any of this is happening, has no knowledge of how to counter the reason of the emotion with itself yet. Because it has little knowledge to reason with.

Alright, got your point now. I guess it can be seen that way, yes.

Yeah it really saddened me, i completely support france with their fight against terrorism with that being said most people will forget about this incident in a week or 2 like anubis said.

 

[CrimsonReaper]

People are social media sad about the event.

now but in a week heh most of them won't give a sh*t, many of them ya know just post on these hashtags so they can gain retweets followers etc..yup these horrible people exist.

 

[Young Vongola]

It's because there's distance. You're not there so it's not evoking serious emotions from you. I feel the same way, except I care, I just know there's nothing I can do about it.

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.

There are definitely more than a few instances of more than a hundred people dying at once that gets no attention from the media. The reason is, they only want you to pay attention to what is convenient for them. They don't really give a shit about these people who died. So why let them direct your focus how they please? It's a fact that 99% of the shit you hear on the news will never personally affect you or anyone in your circle of people you know. How do I know? Because I've lived for 21 years and I might aswell not have known anything that has ever been reported in the news. I don't want to jinx it so I'm grateful for that. So essentially you are wasting your time getting in these social media events that will be forgotten next day. It's just passive consumption for people who're not even thinking.

 

[Disquiet]

I can relate to what you're saying.

 

[Dark Sonic]

This happens lots but the west countries could give a rat's ass when it's not their ally.

 

[Nick01]

I gave it a week until the people stop caring. This happens all the time.

Next week they'll find something else to talk about.

 

[V h o]

I try to stay as ignorant as possible about these events. Less drama. Side note: my condolence to whoever is grieving whatever happened.

 

[Brooks]

I don't have time to feel sad or cry about anything in this world.

 

[DroGGz0r]

I used to cry like a girl about this kind of events when I was little.

Not so much now. People dies everyday, in all sorts of circumstances. That's the reason I don't watch the news anymore, so depressing.

Feelings~

Well saw a picture of one of the victims, a small child maybe two years old dead, with the back of his head blown out. His father is crying and clutching the body of his son.

I feel sympathy for this man even though I don't know him and anger towards ISIS for committing this act.

However you are correct that you don't have to give a shit about it.
