You're right. What was important yesterday seems light years away.
When that man who lost his wife's hand in his house collapse said "My Mary is gone",,they only showed that part once everything changed for me,,it was like so personal then. I think when something horrible happens, it doesn't feel personal. It feels like a giant problem to figure out. And then suddenly, it feels like it is so real. And that man did it for me.
Keep watching the world. One of my side concerns is that an enemy (foreign or domestic) will try to pull something while we are justifiably gazing at our national navel.
