Bomb Blast

Just heard that there had been a Bomb Blast at the Army HQ, not sure about the death toll. I’m worried that the country will go back to the terrible state when people weren’t sure whether they’d return home in the evening...

But why doesn’t this affect me the way I think it should? I mean I feel sad for those who have lost they’re loved ones and for those who are injured, but I feel rather detached from it all. Is it because I am not directly affected by it? Why???
