Q: Does There Come A Point When We Get Too Numb?

I’ve been trying to blog and go about my regular work today. But everything seems a bit surreal, with the awful tragedy that occurred at Virginia Tech. The senses are somewhat overwhelmed. I wonder: Will there come a point when we become too numb to these tragedies. Consider:

*9/11
*Iraq invasion (and nearly daily loss of U.S. soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan)
*Hurricane Katrina
*Amish school shootings
*Columbine
*Now, Virginia Tech

Question: How do you cope with these things?
