The point or question was...we clearly feel stronger about tragedies if we can relate to them. So is our sense of morality self centred?

to a certain extent sure, but all morality is learned. i think certain moralities are more certain to be prevalent because its just part of the human experience though. anyone who isn't mentally fucked sees murder as a fucked act, because we don't want to be murdered ourselves. shit like that. its wrong to steal because you don't want to have things stolen blah blah
as for the kid scenario i can't think of much else that could piss me off more, if anything else. and i have no kid, and don't relate on that level. but view it more from just the, seeing a helpless youth be harmed standpoint. but again im a human, i was once helpless, and while i didn't have acid thrown in my face maybe thats where i relate and view it as such a ridiculously evil attack
