I am saddened by the morbid curiousity , this is the way th world is now . Instead of reaching a hand out to help someone or offering a smile , instead most choose to enjoy seeing other's pain . What a pathetic world we live in when nobody stops to think for one second before "liking" something as tragic as this before thinking , who was this person , did she really not get hurt , how is she ? Instead we choose to be judge and jury and enjoy other's pain , physical or other . Take a second and stop talking about one another and start doing for one another , not just to get noticed , but because it's good . Real goodness and kindness begins with the simplest of things . How terrible and tragic , yet such a miracle . And who are we to "like" someone else's pain ? I could never enjoy seeing another hurt , God bless those with tight lips and huge hearts.
