Because there's something missing in them. It could be compassion, or empathy, or just plain human decency.
One example of such a person is that guy in Washington.

I don't believe so many people think it is ok for others to suffer. I know they are out there, but those people are usually not mentally healthy. Most people who seem like they feel it is OK, either have never been through a similar situation or have said something that sounds uncaring to the one who is suffering. I wish you the best in healing your wounds.

It's that reptilian brain stem I'm afraid. Some people actually enjoy the suffering of others. The Germans call it Schadenfreude.

Maybe most of us have enough to do to think about our own problems.
How can we be open to think and worse still to feel about the suffering of the others ? We really don't know about.others.
So please don't tell us about the suffering multitudes.

I think most of us have sympathy for those who suffer, but we are glad it is not happening to us.

Hi, Askip,
I think, because many people are "selfish".. in the world we are living in ...
They will, feel sorry for them.. but that is mostly where it ends!
>>>>>
Some people will only notice : "when their is something wrong, with them"...
>>>
The positive thing is : that their are still people in the world, who care!!
>>>>
Thanks, for the question!;)
My regards!

Lots of 'suffering' is self-induced.

because they suffer, so they think it is ok for others to suffer
"they" being you and I,
"others" being you and I
