An interesting article, I've just stumbled upon, here is a quote:

Most people are caring and will exert great effort to reserve "the one" whose needy plight comes to their attention. But these same people often become numbly indifferent to the plight of "the one" who is one of many in a much greater problem.

Worth spending 15-20 minutes of your time reading.
