You know what's funny?
Being upset about the lion doesn't imply complacency with the violence against people in the world. I think all of here find violence disturbing.
Yet many chose to show their outrage about the lion rather than the more horrific violence that happens around the world, including the U.S. And I saw the same pattern on all social media. And the media itself.
Maybe if people showed outrage towards human on human violence like we do for a lion I wouldn't have called it a numbness.
There are many recent cases and atrocities to choose from. But people in this country chose to get outraged over a lion over the rest. So that's my beef.
