  • I get this. I’ve reached a point where I just can’t bring myself to care any more. I feel bad there are people suffering but I feel this is a constant, bad news cycles are good news. Sometimes it’s children being gunned down. Sometimes there’s a protest in Boise Idaho for a conflict in another continent. Sometimes it’s hand wringing about a beer spokesperson. Sometimes it’s politics for countries I don’t live in. I’ve reached a point where I’m avoiding news but getting told opinions constantly.

    Meanwhile I’ve got a life full of small compounding problems. Nothing news worthy but a struggle. I can’t bring myself to care anymore about problems outside my twenty feet. I just can’t. I don’t feel like it’s even genuine anymore. People want my opinion so they can confirm their own or launch into their prepared rebuttal.
