I think there's a lot of nuance in this discussion (don't just read the top, read at least some of the comments) about how we can respond to the many crises around the world. As one person wrote, "I just do not think our psyches were developed to hold, feel and respond to everything coming at them right now; every tragedy, injustice, sorrow and natural disaster happening to every human across the entire planet, in real time every minute of every day." More, many of us are working within a system that resist change, even when supported and promoted by a collective majority. I think it's fair for each of us to select one or a few areas of focus, just as I have focused on media and education, to make our impact.
