EQ = 0

Just read this article. I am disturbed, not by the man, but more of by myself. While reading through the article, I realised that no amount of sympathy on the woman has been brewed in me. 

Instead, in my head, thoughts of whether or not the man had a defence against what he'd done was swimming around. Was he substantially impaired, or does he has an abnormality of mental functioning?

I've been told that I'm realistic, but this is really too much. This is called having zero EQ. What is going on, seriously? I hope that it's the coincidence that I am studying homicide that is making me feel this way. I am not cold blooded, nor do I wish to be, I just wish I could instil some pity or sympathy towards things like this.

On the other end of the spectrum... I get angry over things like brutal killings of animals (slaughterhouses), but not over this one single issue of innocent killing of a HUMAN LIFE. I don't know how to start comprehending my thoughts now. Confused.
