However if I hear on the news that someone was brutally raped and murdered, or when people are killed by suicide bombers or horrendous earthquakes etc, I do stop to think and have compassion for them and those they leave behind.

It's a different kind of feeling though if it's your own family I think.
that's very very true. I know what you mean, those awful things you see on the news or read in the papers do get to you, like september 11, i knew no one of the victims, but it felt like i lost someone of my family, those things really get to you.
