those people killed were harmless tourists that visit a country to play.

people dying in your country is one thing, representatives of your country killing innocent people from other countries can give your country trouble with the others

It's probably just how the brain works. If you spent every second stressing on every tragedy you would be perpetually in despair. Tend to just prioritize the recent, 'relevant'(to them) or sensational ones. I think i read a theory that it is because we evolved to live in a much smaller size community ("middle world"), that when technology made it possible to link millions, the brain isnt use to operate on that scale. Not saying it's good or we can't improve, but I wouldnt start losing faith in humanity over it.

That said, by no means am I saying everything is OK, or noone has done anything wrong. Some people make a living capitalizing tragedies, or using it to push an agenda, it's sick.

Also, I'm really sorry to hear that Chromyne

what is so illogical about more interest being shown towards the more recent tragedy?

This isn't irrational at all. One tragedy does not make another tragedy lesser.

It's like "Hey look middle class [or above] people died, everyone give them care and donate to families" then even when 100x people in 3rd world countries die to wars/natural disasters the media doesn't give it nearly as much attention (unless the death toll is absurdly large).


It's not about the class, it's about sensationalism. No one cares if those people were "above middle class", the story is huge for an entirely different reason.
