When we tweeted the accusation that the world didn't care, many people retweeted it. But most didn't click the link to read our stories. Perhaps they wanted to be seen to care. Perhaps they believed that people should care. But they didn't care enough to read what we had written.

This really hit home. It's increasingly hard for people to truly feel sadness about these stories anymore. When continuously faced with sadness with no hope for recourse, what else would the mind do but turn away? Yet there's still something inside us that tells us we need to care about these people.
