cherry blossom

Human suffering, particularly viewed in an uncaring and cavalier manner.

The term originated in the South African expression, "The misery of others is like a cherry blossom--attractive, fragrant, and easily forgotten." (rough translation from Afrikaans)
Darfur is a field of cherry blossoms, and the United States just gazes from afar.
