There's something to be said about choosing not to care about some stuff, though. Being constantly contemplating every single crisis in the world and worrying equally about them all will be damaging to your mental health... And these days there are more pressing issues than the moths to me. It's not that I don't value them
That's why we need to change the system. By being flooded with crises, we get separated and lose sight of the bigger picture. Many of the crises ate actually caused by the same things. Capitalism, greed, "conservatives", corruption, the ultra rich. Whatever you want to call them.
How will any system fjx this, though? There will always be disasters, hunger, war, crime...
Why would yhere always need to be hunger? Its been proven over and over that this is a solvable problem and we have more than enough resources to solve it. They even put a monetary amount on it and it could easily be solved by a single billionaire. And then we know that once people arent starving or desperate for shelter and constantly concerned about their basic needs and survival, crime goes way down. And why does there need to be war? Because the oil companies or mercenaries and military industrial complex demands it? Let them die and we could easily have a much better society that takes care of all peoples basic needs. Its really not that complicated.
