I feel completely callused towards geopolitics and even to suffering in the world. I see what's happening with Russia/Ukraine, I read about what's happened in Turkey/Syria and truthfully, I just don't care. I want to care, I want to feel for the people who are suffering the effects of a devastating earthquake or who are feeling the ravages of a war that has been going on for over a year, but I don't. Then I start to wonder to myself, should I care? Should I care about things that I wouldn't otherwise know about except for the availability of information and which in no way affect my daily life? I don't know the answer to that question, it's just a question that crosses my mind.
