There are many among us who have lost our sense of empathy. These are the "dead souls" of our world. They are totally into themselves and their own needs, neglectful of all problems or concerns that affect anyone else, and mindful only of their families -- their health -- their bank accounts.
Such people actually believe that "if the world were to somehow 'end'" -- they would still somehow be all right. Their second home in the mountains or their condo at the shore would somehow survive all life-ending catastrophes -- and they themselves would somehow make it out of the maelstrom and be safe. Such stupidity abounds.
It takes the form of "us versus them" and "the good old days" and "how things used to be " kind of thinking. These people are trapped inside their own small bubbles and don't understand that the world is all connective tissue now -- there are no safe places; their are no survivors.
