Losing the fire.

When things happen repeatedly (outrageous, unbelievable, and shocking things), we get desensitized. The intellectual agreement that these things ought not to be does not change, but we are very often powerless to change the circumstances that lead to these things occurring.

At times resignation comes into the picture.

It's partly due to aging. I'm now closer to 50 than to 40 and my perspective is different, I'm less trusting, more cynical, and humbler (not bragging - life does humble us). The whole "10 year challenge" thing going viral lately - we're not the same we were in 2008 or in 2009. We do change. And if we don't get as mad as we once did we do have more wisdom, perspective, insight, and prudence.
