I'd just like to say one thing to do with this. AE - get a grip. It's
not such a price to pay? Hoo boy, have you already flipped your lid?

Look at me, for example. I'm no psycho - I still have a strong sense of
right and wrong. And I (mostly) follow it. But I'm afraid that I've
been almost totally desensitised to life and I honestly don't like it.

When Princess Diana died, I said "Good riddance". When a friend of the
family died, I shrugged it off. When my UNCLE died, I barely felt a
thing. Now one of my grandmothers has only got a few weeks or months to
live (pancreatic cancer) and my grandfather (her hubbie) is going
senile - and it hardly bothers me.

The only thing that gets to me are sad movies (which is strange) and
that my 14-year-old dog (who I've had since he was a few months old) is
on his last legs.

But on the other hand, I can watch car crashes and mangled bodies and
shootings and torture and murder - and I could probably do all that
myself - and not be particularly touched by it.

Do you really think that's a good thing? If you do, I think you're the
one who needs the help. No...well, little offense intended.

Me, I'll just tough it out. Nothing gets to me, y'know.
