When people say ‘we are not ok’ in response to news events

[Anonymous]

I would interpret it as a lament that the human race still has not figured out how to exist. That there are still humans who would commit such atrocities is a huge failure of humanity writ large.

I know people who have said this about school shootings, the abortion ruling, etc. where large categories of people are indirectly affected but somehow they want special sympathy.

This this this.
I’m Jewish but there are a million ways to talk about what’s happening without making it about ME. Like ‘I’m not ok’ seems ridiculous thing to say considering hostages and people being bombed while I go to Starbucks. Don’t get me wrong I’m horrified, upset, concerned. But it’s not about me![/quote]

And if you believe in a G-d, any G-d, how utterly disgusted they must be with all in this world by now
