There is only so much capacity for people to pay attention to stuff. Eventually people get numbers to this kind of tragedy. It's a defense mechanism.

That is how it works. Usually.
You don't have the energy or time to be brothered about the atrocities happening in the world, specially when the victims are not relatable to most the "civilized westerners".
Arundhati Roy mentioned! I love her books!
