When I was little, I learned that like 100,000 people died daily. I was seriously disturbed by this, but nobody around me seemed upset. When 9/11 hit, my parents told me 3,000 people died, and I was like "but 100,000 people died today anyway, why are you so upset about only 3k?"

it is a true story? i didn't see it as cool and edgy. At the time my parents explained it away and i accepted it, but i do like the theme of kids questioning why we're disproportionately upset at some things.

I was horrified by 100k people dying *every day*, but nobody else was horrified by it. I assumed, then, that people dying all the time wasn't something we should get upset about. I was a kid, remember.
