An accident that
kills just a couple of people in Tirunelveli hurts more than an accident killing thousands
in a far away land. The latter is just a news. What makes you feel bad for the
former?
The missing
Malaysian plane is not in my memory that much as my second class friend I never
met after that year. What makes me think about a little girl who was with me
for just one year about 30 years back more than the few hundred people that
went missing just a year back!
When you lose a
match against an equal opponent, it hurts less than losing against an unknown /
unskilled player. What hurts more then? Is it just losing the match?
When a crook
swindles you, it hurts less than a friend giving a manipulated account
statement. Is it just losing money?
Outcomes alone do
not influence feelings, looks like! The association seems to have more
influence! How do we get disassociated / detached and focus just on outcomes?
