is getting me into trouble. Firstly, my brother had a bit of a go at me for my blasé conduct during our mum's recent illness. And now I've been made to feel like a stupid child because of my somewhat unsympathetic attitude toward my brother's breaking up with his fiancée of 5 years.

These kind of "catastrophic" events happen to everyone all the time, and are inevitable, so I find it hard to get emotional. Why should I feel sad for my family when far worse things are happening in the world every day?

What I want to know is is is this a bad attitude to have? Do I need to grow up? Does anyone else feel the same way as I do? Bit of a pointless thread, but this has been on my mind for ages and I need to get it out there.
