The scale of destruction in Gaza is incomprehensible to me. Like, I see the picture, I know it’s awful, I feel for those affected, but there’s some kind of disconnect.
It’s the same feeling when I look at images of Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Just all emotion is preempted by a numbness, an inability to process. It’s difficult for me to explain, actually. It’s a picture of gray rubble that used to be people and their homes and workplaces and gathering places, but the picture is totally depersonalized. It’s lifeless, both literally and figuratively. No bodies, no blood, no color at all. Look at it from a distance it might look like TV static.
It’s because empaths have a fundamental weakness in being able to understand the lack of empathy needed to be so cruel. Like it’s incomprehensible to be so detached from a moral center.
I think that numbness is likely one of two things. Your psyche subconsciously protecting you from overwhelming emotion. Or your psyche is searching for similar data to decide how you should feel, and literally the answer is null; no similar data available. It’s unprecedented in your subconscious. You may as well have been told 5 billion dwikars exploded.
WTF is a dwikar? I don’t know how to feel about this, I have no basis of comparison!

When the goal of the terrorist state of israel is extermination it is comprehensible
