Listener question: denial or healthy response?

Listener question: i always felt like there must be something wrong with me becuase i dont seem to have strong reactions to the larger world events (dont seem to feel strong reaction) ... now i see .. perhaps i more able to see those things as neutral and not judge them (unlike the self and other categories) ... but it does beg the question (in relation to the world stuff) ... when are we in denial and cut off from 'feelings'/reactions and when are we just in neutral and not in triggered judgemental reactions... and 'should' we be reacting to 'apparently horrific things ' to be 'healthy' and heart felt.
