Summary
This quote, often attributed to Joseph Stalin, suggests that while an individual death can evoke feelings of grief and empathy, when the number of deaths becomes excessively high, it becomes difficult for people to connect emotionally to the magnitude of the loss. It highlights the unfortunate tendency for people to be desensitized to large-scale tragedies and to view them as impersonal statistics rather than as a series of unique and invaluable lives lost.
