Absolutely. We are not insensitive to the suffering of others, but our high standard of living here in the U.S. blinds us to a veritable pageant of human afflictions, common in other parts of the world. As an American foreign service brat, the shock of first exposure was disturbing in the extreme. As an adult serving overseas, it saddens and gives one pause to wonder what it would take for such things to be commonplace here. Now I know.
