Were you less affected by the difficult scenes in Gaza? Dr. Khaled Ghattas explains the scientific reasons for this

Hundreds of videos we watch daily contain unbearable tragedies and difficult scenes for the people of Gaza, old and young. The smell of blood wafts from everywhere, and the sounds of screaming mixed with the sound of planes and bombing are the lady of the situation. Here is a woman, despite suffering bloody injuries, running everywhere in search of her young son, and by her side. The remains of a man whose body no one identified, another young man who lost his limbs, and many other heartbreaking scenes that we are exposed to daily.

With the large number of these scenes, you can feel that the feeling for them has diminished. In the beginning, many people would cry as soon as they saw these scenes and could not bear to see them. Now the situation for some has become less severe and these scenes have become habitual, which made many people feel guilty because they were affected by these videos. It is less than before, so what is the reason behind this?

"sbisiali" reviews Dr. Khaled Ghattas' talk about Gaza videos Dr. Khaled Ghattas explained that the lack of influence on videos of Gazan children is a natural phenomenon, and is medically justified with a scientific explanation. He stressed that this is a strategy followed by Israel to make these scenes “normal” over time.

Dr. Khaled said, “When we first saw body parts and a child trembling with death, now our feelings for those scenes have diminished, and they no longer affect us psychologically like the first time.” The doctor explained the reason for that feeling that it was “natural,” and he explained that by saying that there is a scientific phenomenon called “the phenomenon of diminished returning feelings.” Towards a specific thing,” he gave an example: If a person works in trade and earns a million dollars for the first time, he will feel very happy, but gradually decreases as this happens repeatedly, and it becomes normal.

Dr. Khaled Ghattas explains how to deal with this feeling Dr. Khaled Ghattas continued his speech by saying that to challenge this natural phenomenon, we must consider each case we see as an independent case and not see the issue as a whole, meaning that we do not look at those who die as numbers that increase, but rather let the mind separate the events from each other in order to feel each separate event, as he advised. By staying away for a while from watching videos of tragedies and then returning to them in order to feel the pain again, he concluded his speech, “It is a strange thing for me to advise how the pain continues, but that is because some pains must not go away and we must continue to feel them.”
