I mean, really, how much do you care about the rest of the world? Outside of your family and your friends, the horrible things you hear about on the news but that do not affect you otherwise, how much do you care about them?
I've been thinking about this recently, and I realized how difficult it can be do feel compassion for faceless strangers you'll most likely never know. Not to say that I don't care, but it seems that no matter what, no matter how much I think about all of the awful things happening in the world and how much I wish I could change it, in the end I always get caught up in my busy life and forget about all of those people. Is that selfishness? Is that cold-hearted, uncaring cruelty? I mean, not being part of the solution, am I just part of the problem? Or am I just another person trying to get by?
I'm just curious how other people feel about this.
