This happens in America whenever something awful happens, and I don't know whether the same is true for France, but the news just won't shut up about the awful thing. And after a while of listening to people legitimately feeling sorry for everyone affected, and after that's all you hear on the news for a few days, it gets more grating than anything else to hear about the "tragic event".

Like, yeah, yeah, there's been another school shooting or hurricane or suicide bombing or whatever? I'm sorry, but because you won't shut up about it for once, and because that's all the "news" I've heard for entire weeks and months now, I'm sorry to say that I no longer care. It's not that I try to be a heartless monster or anything, and heck, I'm pretty darn sure I'm not one, but I'm just sick and tired of hearing this same thing over and over again! It's devolved, for me, into a miserable failure of a sob story! Yeah, the world is a terrible place, and some people are ruthless sociopaths. Maybe I'd still feel like that's true if you guys wouldn't keep numbing my feelings with all these tragedies for weeks at a time!

Please tell me you see where I'm coming from. I can't be the only one who starts thinking stuff like this.
