I understand, I am Australian. The shaken to the core is not something I feel by nature perhaps though. What I wonder is that because so much of unimportant life is portrayed as sensational, the real events are much less so. Much like in Finland people believe that strawberries aren't as sweet as they were when they were kids but in actual fact they are bred sweeter. The senses however are so bombarded by sugar that the reference point of what sweet is has changed. Trump is another example of it with th crazy things he says that are now being normalized. We live in a messed up world.
