No, I'm saying no one cared then and disater or tragedy struck anyway. There is little correlation about how we feel vs. what happens to us.

Obviously not caring doesn't accomplish anything, because people who don't care about something won't act.

But if people do care about something, they are motivated to act, and may significantly alter the course of what happens -- not always, and not always as they wanted, but even a small number of motivated people can make serious waves, depending on their skill, charisma, cleverness, opportunity, etc..

Hence, what we feel matters.
