He was watching these events unfold before his very eyes...that I don't understand...wait, maybe I should have put it differently... Logically, I understand, but my heart doesn't get it.
I'm more inclined to believe that he didn't know the gravity of the situation. I just stood there in horror at those buildings falling when I saw it...the real implications of how many died, what the aftermath would be, or what could have happened didn't hit me until much later when I came home and just sat in the middle of the floor and cried.
It just shocks me how much we've lost our ability to empathize.
