What I'm constantly wondering right now is: how can I find a healthy balance between, on the one hand, being aware of what is happening in the world, exercising and strengthening my empathy to extend it beyond my personal, local concerns, to a global scale, vs., on the other hand, overwhelming my innate limitations, and overdosing on outrage and frustration on a daily basis due to the never-ending firehose of problems and struggles in the world?
It's a perplexing problem, and I think it's one that most of us are dealing with. I don't see any obvious, easy answers yet.
