I could relate to the emotions you are going through.

However, I think most of us (brothers and sisters ) will come together whenever there is a serious problem.

Why is it that we can get so emotional over fake shit in movies and T.V. yet not get upset about what is happening to our brothers and sisters abroad, in war torn countries.

^I think, it's the media that decides what gets telecast(so we don't see what's happening in other countries).

And most of us are kept distracted with various things like Sports, Movies, Food, Politics, Gossips, Cartoons, Porn, Video Games etc....
