What you describe as "not feeling terrible" is what I would describe as "empathy", aka what makes us humans. Our ability to feel emotions regarding what is not happening to us but to someone else.
There is no need to go seek trauma-like events to experiment empathy, no need to witness a war, a child suffering or something deeply unfair. It's the same empathy that also makes us able to cry real tears when watching/reading a love story, and sincerely worry about what's happening to a fictional character that is, by definition, not even a real person. That is the same empathy that makes us feel good when witnessing someone happy in front of us, even a perfect stranger (like this sweet couple sitting in front of me in the bus, yesterday), or feel happy when we see kids playing around on the street or in a park. The same empathy that makes us feel bad when we see those same people not being happy. And it's the same empathy that makes feel like helping some random strangers that obviously needs help. To care about others, that's what make us human beings.
So, would I take pills to stop being a human in order to not feel bad? No. At the very least because I know I would also not be able anymore to feel happy, as I would not be able to feel much anymore, if anything.
robot like. De-humanized. A billionaire's dream I imagine. Even more so that they would make us pay for having access to those magical (?) pills.
Personal remark:
Ignoring real trauma here, just considering our emotional reactions to events happening around us. Imho, the real issue with bad/sad feelings is not in us feeling bad. The issue lies in not being educated to accept and to handle those kind of feelings as a legit part of ourselves. Exactly like so many of us now seem to have become incapable to handle any disagreement or contradictory fact, btw. It's most likely the same issue.
No pill ever will replace education, or its absence.
