The scale of destruction in Gaza is incomprehensible to me. Like, I see the picture, I know it's awful, I feel for those affected, but there's some kind of disconnect.
It's the same feeling when I look at images of Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Just all emotion is preempted by a numbness, an inability to process. It's difficult for me to explain, actually. It's a picture of gray rubble that used to be people and their homes and workplaces and gathering places, but the picture is totally depersonalized. It's lifeless, both literally and figuratively. No bodies, no blood, no color at all. Look at it from a distance it might look like TV static.
I don't know. It's weird.
