    These deaths disturb me far more than those from bee stings.

Because it does harm far beyond the victims, their families and relatives. Because bee stings aren't intentionally done to disturb you and your society. They aren't intentionally pushing people towards extremism.

The hopelessness that many feel is hard to take, let alone to reconcile with.
