Tough - what is it?

So when a city starts living it's life as usual, and seems to have 'risen above' recent atrocities, it's called tough. But when does tough end, and callous begin? At what point do you stop applauding people for going about their daily lives 'bravely', and start wondering how heartless it must feel to the families which are now living the aftermath of death and destruction?

I am starting to believe, tough is a misnomer. No Other Option is more like it. Wonder how the terrorist mastermind on the other end of the satellite phone is now seeing it. Is he happy with the distraction of a few days, or is he upset it's now just a political blowhard between two incompetent and uncaring administration?
